How it works
1. Submit your inquiry form Let us know you’re ready to start! Once we receive your form, we’ll work with you to design a personalized music program for your child(ren).
2. Complete the student intake questionnaire. We’ll reply to your inquiry with a link to a short questionnaire; this helps us understand your goals so we can assign the best-fit music teacher.
3. Connect with our music director. Our music director reaches out within 24–48 hours to find the optimal schedule and set up a meet & greet with your new teacher at a time that works for you.
4. Purchase lesson credits Before lessons begin, purchase credits towards your sessions. Credits can be bought in bulk and refilled anytime.
A few things to know:
- Lessons are scheduled at the same time each week for consistency.
- Communication books track lesson content and keep parents and teachers connected.
- Arrive 5 minutes early, at the start or end of a lesson, to check in with the teacher or reach out anytime by email.
