Frequently Asked Questions – U.S. Music Lessons
What will I learn in my lessons?
Every student’s journey is unique! We focus on building a strong foundation in technique, music theory, rhythm, and ear training. From there, we tailor your lessons to your goals—whether that’s playing classical pieces, jamming to pop songs, writing your own music, or preparing for exams and performances.
How often do I need to take lessons to see good progress?
We recommend one lesson per week for steady, meaningful progress. Just like learning a language or sport, consistency is key! For younger students or those who want to advance quickly, we also encourage regular practice at home between lessons.
How much do lessons cost?
Our lessons start at $170 per month. This typically includes one private lesson each week with one of our amazing instructors. We’ll help match you with the right teacher and program for your goals and budget.
What is a good age for a child to start music lessons?
Every child is different, but most can begin formal music lessons around ages 5–7. Some instruments, like piano and violin, are great for young beginners. If your child is younger, we also offer pre-music or rhythm-based programs to get them started with musical concepts in a fun way.
Do you teach adults?
Absolutely! We welcome adult beginners, returning musicians, and anyone looking for a new hobby or creative outlet. It’s never too late to learn an instrument—and our teachers are great at helping adults reach their personal goals.
Do you have any performance opportunities?
Yes! We host two Grand Concerts each year for students of all levels to shine on stage. Throughout the year, we also offer smaller informal performance opportunities. Plus, our Rock & Roll Band program takes it to the next level with four Music Fest Concerts annually—perfect for students who want to perform with a group and rock out!
Do you teach Certificate of Merit or ABRSM?
We do! Our teachers are experienced in preparing students for both the Certificate of Merit (CM) and the ABRSM exams. If you’re interested in a more structured path with performance and theory goals, let us know and we’ll get you started.
Where do the lessons take place?
Lessons are available either online or at our beautifully equipped studio in 4S Ranch, San Diego 92127. Whether you prefer the convenience of online learning or the in-person studio experience, we’ve got you covered!
