Question 6

Which forms of payment are accepted?

Accepted Answer

We accept cash/check/credit/debit payments. There are a variety of ways in which we accept payment including online payments, auto-payments and in-person payments.

Question 7

What is your make up/cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

When students need to cancel a lesson they're issued a makeup credit which they can use to schedule a makeup lesson or extend their regular lesson time provided the schedule allows for it. For example, if a student misses a 30 minute lesson they could potentially extend their next two lessons by 15 minutes each. There is also an option to schedule a makeup lesson through our student portal on our website. To view our lesson policies you can click here.

Question 10

Do you sell or rent instruments?

Accepted Answer

We do not sell or rent instruments but we have various shops that we recommend. Feel free to ask for a recommendation!

Question 11

How much time should students practice for?

Accepted Answer

We generally recommend 20 - 30 minutes a day for 4 - 5 days out of the week. This is a question best answered by the teacher that the student would be assigned to.

Question 12

Can we take lessons every other week?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately we don't offer every other week lessons. Our lessons take place once a week.

Question 13

How long are the lessons and how often?

Accepted Answer

We offer lessons in lengths of 30, 45 and 60 minutes. These lessons take place on a weekly basis. When deciding how long you'd like your lesson to be here are some general guidelines:   30 minute lessons can sometimes seem a bit rushed but for younger students, who generally don't have that many questions and have a shorter attention span, this is a good option.   45 minute lessons are perfect for children who practice regularly and make progress quickly. They're also a good option for adult students because adults generally have more questions than younger students.   60 minute lessons are good for students who practice more than average and make progress quickly. This extra time allows for more material to be assigned and covered in the lesson thoroughly enough to allow for successful practicing.

Question 14

Do you offer discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do. The first lesson for new students is a 50% off trial.   We also offer a family referral discount. When existing students sign up more than one family member for four or more lessons they'll receive a one time $20 discount per additional family member.   We provide existing students with a general referral discount of $20 when they recommend someone to take lessons with us who also signs up for four or more lessons.

Question 15

Are your teachers qualified?

Accepted Answer

All of our teachers have extensive experience with both performing and teaching on their instrument. You can visit the various instrument lessons pages to view biographies of our teachers and read up on them in detail.

Question 16

What are the studios hours?

Accepted Answer

Hours can vary depending on student enrollment but here are some general hours that we're consistently open for:   Monday: 2:00pm - 8:30pm Tuesday: 2:00pm - 8:00pm Wednesday: 12:00pm - 8:00pm Thursday: 3:00pm - 8:00pm Friday: 3:30pm - 8:00pm Saturday: 9:00am - 12:00 Sunday: Closed

Question 17

What is your tuition policy?

Accepted Answer

Students are required to pay for the first trial lesson at the lesson itself. If, after the trial, the student decides to continue then they would receive a bill for the rest of the lessons for that month due at the next lesson. From that point forward the student would receive a bill on the first of every month, detailing all of the charges for the lessons in that month and the payment for that bill would be due by the 15th of that month. Students can discontinue lessons at any time provided they give the studio 30 days notice.

Question 18

Does the student need to have the instrument at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Practicing is crucial for success when studying a musical instrument so having access to an instrument at home to practice on is very important.

Question 19

Can I watch my child while they're in their lesson?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can. Parents are always invited to sit in on the lesson. If the parent chooses not to sit in on the lesson they can always sneak a peak through the glass door.

Question 20

Do I have to sign a policy?

Accepted Answer

If the student decides to continue past the trial lesson then we ask the student, if they're an adult, or a parent/guardian to sign our policy agreement which you can view by clicking here.

Question 21

How long does it take to learn an instrument?

Accepted Answer

It would depend on what your specific goals are but there is always room for improvement no matter how good a student gets. No student is ever truly finished with their study. It's more important to enjoy the learning process itself in order to stay motivated with the practice routine. A consistent practice routine will lead to consistent progress and that's what really matters.

Question 22

Do I need to know how to read music to start lessons?

Accepted Answer

No. We teach a wide variety of students ranging from those who have never studied before to those who have been playing for years. We also teach a wide array of genres. We accept students of all ages, style preferences and ability levels.
