Our Multi-Level Group Lessons are designed to give students the supportive and fun experience of a group class, as well as the individualized attention of a private lesson. We offer these lessons for piano, guitar, and drums. Our “Little Keynotes” program is a fun introduction to the piano for 4-5 year olds.
Students involved in a group setting are immersed in all aspects of music. They are energized by their peers and learn cooperation & teamwork, which creates opportunities for greater creativity & collaboration. Being a part of a bigger whole boosts self-confidence & ultimately enhances other parts of their life.
Our 60-minute, group lessons are designed so each student also gets one-on-one time with the teacher. Their teacher creates personalized assignments and helps students set goals that they can successfully meet each week.
Our students learn self-discipline and accountability to the group while having fun learning to make music. The 60-minute length allows plenty of time for each student to participate in group activities and games, and time to complete individual assignments.

Students LOVE our Rock Star Rock Band classes! They learn classic rock, write their own songs, name their bands, and perform LIVE in concert twice a year. We have a Beginner class that doesn’t require any prior music experience, and a “Next Level” class for those who have rocked with us before! Students learn how to play with other musicians, learn new skills and “Rock the House”!

This class gives students one-on-one time with the teacher while participating in a group setting. In the beginning of class students share rhythm & note reading activities that reinforce music theory, hand coordination & piano skills. These activities are designed for new beginners & as well as students with experience playing. Next, the teacher spends private lesson time with each student. Assignments are checked weekly & students progress at a pace that works for them, with assignments designed for each individual student by their teacher. The 60-minute length and maximum of 4 students per class allows practice time and a chance to ask questions. This environment creates a supportive, fun classroom energy, while students experience private lesson progress! BONUS: This is a great class for siblings, as it allows the family to come to the studio just once a week for multiple students who are learning the same instrument.
