We recommend young beginners to start with piano or keyboard, and if they feel inclined, voice as well. The keys are soft on the fingers, and it is easier to hear the music on this instrument. Vocal coaching brings in new confidence and a connection with the inner instrument. Older students of all levels should go with their preferred instrument, as this is about having fun and feeling accomplished while learning!

We've found that the dedication and commitment to doing music lessons twice a week shows massive improvement in a shorter time, motivating students to practice more and take on musical challenges and performances. With private lessons and band, recording, or jam, students interact with their peers and mentors more often, work on their projects, and receive individual attention and education.
