Music Lessons
Guitar, Piano, Voice, Songwriting
Lessons are structured and customized to each individual student depending upon skill level, goals and interests. Music theory building blocks are leveraged as a foundation for learning. A balance of education, technique and fun (e.g. learning songs) will be the basis of everything we do.
