Private Music Lessons

Our one-on-one music lessons are available to anyone in the community. No auditions are required, and lessons are taught to students of all levels and ages from three years and up. The lessons are at Casa (230 8 St S) and are scheduled based on mutual convenience, during the day or evening. We offer affordable recurring monthly payment options at no additional cost! In addition to weekly lessons, we also schedule additional for our students. Are you interested in a more intensive program? Check out our Young Artists Music Academy!
