Pricing
We are proud to offer you top-quality music lessons from some of the finest, most passionate teachers in the region.
Our goal is to enrich your life more than you could imagine. Don’t let money get in the way of that. We are here to support you.
Standard Rates
$120-$160 per month and above
Each teacher sets their own rates, but typically half-hour lessons are $30-35 each and are scheduled weekly. This adds up to around $120-160 per month, depending how many lesson days you have that month, and what your weekly lesson length is.
Bi-weekly and Occasional
$60 per month and above
Some students opt to have lessons every other week, or study in “semesters” for two months on, two months off, etc. This can help students and families manage chaotic schedules and/or ease the financial weight of lessons.
Scholarships
Pay as you’re able
Our goal is to take finances out of the picture when it comes to your musical pursuit. If your teacher’s standard rate is out of reach, you can apply for a scholarship that partially covers the cost of lessons.

Our Building
This lovely old Victorian row home was in desperate need of rescue when we first started, and work is ongoing. If things look a little disheveled inside or out, please excuse the dust. Like any musician or artist will tell you, the greatest things take the most time!
