Typically, one lesson a week is sufficient. However, based on your progress and teacher’s recommendation, you might opt for a longer session rather than multiple weekly sessions.
-
Do I have to bring my own instrument?
Bringing your own instrument is ideal, as it helps you become comfortable with the equipment you will use regularly. For those without an instrument, we have a limited number available for use during lessons. Students playing wind instruments need to bring their own or purchase one from our online music retail store.

What if I miss a lesson?
We require a 24-hour notice for cancellations, except in cases of extreme emergency approved by our administrative staff. Consistency is key in music education, so please ensure you’re able to attend your scheduled lessons. If unforeseen circumstances arise, give us a courtesy call so we can inform your instructor.
