"Teachers open the door,
but you must enter by yourself."

Quoted from a fortune cookie fortune

 

GROUP LESSONS are a fun way to improve one's musicianship and meet like minded new people along the way.  Most of our classes are taken in an 8 week series and we have different groups for different levels of playing.   The cost for an 8 week series is $220 (or $195 if enrolled 2 weeks early.)  For most classes, tuition includes music, handouts, and a play-along CD.  All classes last 60 minutes and take place at Matt's Music, Stage & School.  Although most classes usually have 6-8 students in attendance, they are limited to 10.

 

"In the dojo, we “enter by form” when we diligently learn all the rules of music – theory, scales, harmony, technique, and so on.  We “exit from form” when, having internalized the rules, we throw them all out and just play."

Quoted from Zen Guitar
(available at Matt's Music, Stage & School)

Take advantage of our Early Enrollment Price of $195 when signing up early.  Call us for the early enrollment cut off time for our upcoming term.

WHEN SHOULD I START?
We recommend that children start formal lessons after they already know how to read (ages 7-8)
At age 9, they are old enough to join our youth group lessons.
If you are between the age of 7 and 107,
start taking lessons NOW!

 

We also have PRIVATE LESSONS! Private lessons are great for advanced students who are ready to specialize in a particular style or have special instructional requests.  Private lessons are also great for folks who have challenging schedules or unique learning needs.  All of our Piano lessons are done on a private basis.  We also recommend private lessons for most children ages 7-8.
