FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How do I try it out?
A: Music lessons are unique. To get the best results, students need to commit to a year of lessons.
We know that’s a big commitment!
Four-week workshops are hosted every other month to get a "taste" of lessons before taking the plunge.

If you'd rather get all the info you need in one place before making a decision, you can attend a Free Introductory Session to meet our staff, see our studio space, learn more about us and play a demo song. Sign up here
Q: This all sounds awesome, when are you available for lessons?
A: When you are!
We start new classes in February, April, June, August, and October.
We have openings Monday - Friday, 2:30pm - 8:00pm and can even accommodate earlier class times for adults or homeschoolers.
You can view our openings after applying for lessons.
We book FAST and are at 99% capacity. Lessons are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. Be sure to enroll earlier in the year for the best options!
Q: How much do lessons cost?
A: Our monthly membership is $125, based on a 43 week calendar year tuition. Sometimes we run specials…just ask us!
Q: Are there any curriculum costs?
A: Yes, and it varies by instrument and curriculum. You can budget your first book within the first month, but generally, setting aside $5/mo for books will do the trick, i.e. an average of $60 per year. That's the price of a cup of coffee ☕️
Your teacher will walk you through when and how to purchase materials, as it also varies on student pacing. This is normal for any music lesson environment. If you have more than one child in the same lesson type, i.e. piano, your materials are a one time purchase and will apply to all your students who enroll in that same discipline.
Q: Do you have lessons for age 6?
A: We love getting kids started at six years old; their cognitive development, fine motor, and problem solving soar when they start an instrument early.
Six year olds don't quite have a 15 minute attention span yet for at home practices, and that's normal! We utilize Play-A-Story to bridge the gap. This six to nine month program meets each child where they are with 5-10 minute practices each day. Students study chord theory, song structure and work heavily on fine motor skills and development through story telling and motifs, creating a solid foundation for Simply Music!
All our students who complete Play-A-Story prior to starting any of our other music lessons have a greater success rate with their instrument of choice when they turn 7.
