Step 1: Submit Your Inquiry Form

 Please let us know you’re ready to start now! Once we receive your inquiry form, we can work with you to design a personalized music program for your child(ren).

Step 2: Complete the Student Intake Questionnaire

 You will receive a reply to your Inquiry Form with a link to complete a “Student Intake Questionnaire”. This will help us understand more about your goals so we can assign the best Music Teacher to work with them.

Step 3: Connect with Our Music Director

 Our Music Director will connect with you within 24-48 hours after receiving your Intake Form to determine the optimal schedule for your lessons and to schedule a Meet & Greet with your new Music Teacher, at mutually convenient times.

Step 4: Purchase Lesson Credits

Before beginning music lessons, please purchase credits towards your lessons. Credits can be purchased in bulk and refilled at any time to continue sessions.

Important Notes

• Lessons are scheduled in the same time slot each week for consistency.
• Communication books are used to track lesson content and keep parents and teachers connected.
• Parents are encouraged to arrive 5 minutes early at the start or end of lessons to check in with the teacher, or communicate via email.

Music programs at Oak Learners are suitable for students ages 4 through Adult. We recommend that younger students (Ages 4-6) participate in a “Music Experience” program for their first term of lessons so that we can better understand their skill level and they can learn more about the different instruments and general music theory. Students Ages 6-16 are encouraged to specialize in 1 instrument, although our Music Teachers are all multi-instrumental and will enjoy helping students of all ages explore various musical interests.

Musical Specialties include:

Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, Vocal, Drums, Percussion, Composition, Musical Theatre, Early Years Music Experience

Private music lessons are booked in 30, 45, or 60-minute sessions at a mutually convenient time that recurs on a weekly basis on the same day/time each week. A small buffer of time is set aside at the start and end of each session so that parents can check in and check out with the tutor. If you ever feel that you need or want more time to review your child’s progress with the tutor, please feel welcome to schedule this through our office so we can build it into the timetable.

Consistency

Consistency is important! As educators and parents, we know that children do best with predictable timetables and positive relationships with their teachers. Therefore, committing to a full term, or a full school year of music, allows more time to strengthen the student-teacher relationship and to build on the progress of each term. A longer commitment also helps with teacher retention rates, and this means that we can also commit to maintaining your child’s regular session timing each week.

Music sessions are available
Monday through Friday , 3:00pm – 8:00pm
Saturdays from 10:00am – 1:00pm.
