What We Offer

MUSIC:

OUR PIANO PROGRAM ~ LEARN TO REALLY PLAY!

THE JOY OF MAKING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC...

Learn to read music and play the piano in all well-known genres including classical, jazz, and contemporary styles. We offer more than traditional weekly lessons to help you get there!

In addition to private weekly lessons, all of our pianists are invited to play in our monthly student evaluations, twice-a-year school recitals, the Music Teachers Association of California's Certificate of Merit Program and the National Piano Guild Program.

These performance and evaluation opportunities encourage focus and goal-setting to help make music study a more practical, successful, and socially-rewarding pursuit for our students. Just click below for more information!

OUR STRINGS PROGRAM ~FACE THE MUSIC!

The well-known and highly respected Suzuki Method, taught by our instructors is a great foundation for continued success and eventual mastery of this beautiful instrument.

GUITAR LESSONS

PLAY ON

Learn everything you need to know about how to play your guitar from beginner to intermediate levels. This instrument brings people together as a group and connects them through music and instantly elevates a mood! Private individual lessons available. 30 minutes a week. $125/mo.

LANGUAGES:

OUR FRENCH & SPANISH PROGRAMS

~BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS!

GOING PLACES...

""HOLA!" Parlez-vous Français?" If not, venture out with us to learn the beautiful French or Spanish languages. As both are latin-based languages and two of the most spoken languages globally, they are particularly enriching avenues for you or your child to be further exposed to the wider world. Their latin roots give an enhanced command and understanding of the English language while fluency provides a practical, increased accessibility to a vast array of historical literature, culture, and peoples of the broader western world.

We offer classes for all ages in a fun and relaxed atmosphere that allows for plentiful conversation and real-life application of the vocabulary and concepts covered. Our method is a semi-immersion style that incorporate fun songs, familiar stories, and everyday tasks and activities that make the material useful and relevant. We succeed only when you discover that you really can express yourself easily and clearly in your chosen language!

Furthermore, students who study with us for 2 or more years are invited to put their skills to the test and travel to France , Quebec, or Spain with us on wonderfully exciting (and surprisingly economical ) class trips that we take to every other year!
