Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sign up?

Can I take a trial lesson before committing to a monthly membership?
Sure! Single lessons are available for $35.00 and payment must be made at the time of scheduling. If you choose to continue, the remainder of the month will be prorated as if you were paying the monthly membership rate. This way, you will only pay for the regular rate for the trial lesson.

Yes! Gift givers can purchase a gift card in any denomination that can be applied to lesson membership, additional lesson/recital/ensemble group credits, store merchandise, or repairs.
