• we do offer a sliding scale for lower-income families, so if you feel that applies to you, please just let us know in your inquiry & we’ll figure something out. We’d like lessons to be accessible for everyone :)

what will happen at my lesson? we’ll talk about your musical goals & help you achieve them! We’ll start off with some warm-ups, identify areas where you may struggle in, and help you improve! and we’ll have fun!!

where are lessons? lessons can be:

• in your home (we are happy to travel to you!)

• at a studio (your teacher’s choice: likely midtown, manhattan or williamsburg, brooklyn)

• online (remote over zoom along with other collaborative online music software)

Who are lessons for?

• Anyone who wants to learn!! all ages! 0-100!!

• For children ages 5-8, we recommend 45-minute general music lessons: we’ll still work on a primary instrument, but will involve more elements of play, singing, and music appreciation.

• for children ages 8-12, we recommend 45-minute lessons focusing on a primary instrument.

• for anyone 12+ we recommend a full 60-minute lesson

what areas do you service? We are based in williamsburg, so we travel to all manhattan and brooklyn-based neighborhoods, accessible via subway. travel over 45-minutes may be subject to an additional travel fee.

who are your teachers?

• NYC-based performers & musicians

• degrees in music performance and/or music education

• experienced with the nyc dOE

what’s the schedule?

• flexible!

• we recommend weekly lessons, though recognize that some lifestyle or music goals may benefit from bi-weekly lessons.

• during the school-year, we follow the doe schedule. We also offer summer semester lessons (as many or as few as you’d like!)

• practice: your teacher will share more about a practice recommendations, but we generally suggest reserving at least 15-minutes per day x 5-days a week for practice, if you’d like to see improvement.

• we’ll typically have a regularly scheduled weekly time for you, but we can be flexible. our teachers still perform & gig, so will ask for flexibility on your end sometimes, too.
