Our Promise

We are an equal opportunity organization for both students and staff members alike. For this reason, we do not take gender preference into consideration when pairing our students with their instructors*. 


All of our instructors have passed criminal background checks and are committed to providing the best, most professional private music instruction possible.


Students are paired with their instructors based on a multitude of factors from availability to musical goals to learning styles and more!


*exceptions may be made due to past traumas or other extenuating circumstances.
