04Bass
Nobody notices the bass until it stops.
05Worship team training
Play for a room, not at it.
06Songwriting

Every lesson opens the same way, before a single note.

Scales, music theory, or the Nashville number system, depending on the instrument.

The songs you want to play, with the guidance of your instructor.

What families say
Families here name their teacher.
We recently went through the onboarding process of signing up our daughter for piano lessons. Melody was responsive to all my questions by email. We had a short introduction video call with two music teachers, and we were paired with someone who matched our availability for weekly lessons. Our music teacher, Izzy, is very talented, sweet, and patient with our daughter!
