FAQs

 

Which instrument should my child start with?

We recommend all children start with at least 6 months of piano/keyboard. Because it is physically easier to produce sound, and is visually logically laid out, it builds a foundation quickly and makes comprehension faster. This makes transferring to ANY other instrument much quicker, enjoyable and understandable.

What can I expect from the trial lessons?

Our Musicolor Method© enables kids to play right from the first lesson – and we want to capitalize on this excitement and confidence boost!

How much are the lessons?

Lessons are $25 per solo session OR $37.50 per two-person joint session. Fee does not include the cost of instruments, books, or supplies.

Do I need to own a piano or keyboard to start?

Yes, because your child will be practicing daily from the first lesson.

Do you teach reading music?

Absolutely. We start with playing first using color as educational scaffolding.  This builds instant excitement, enthusiasm and confidence to keep going when things get more complicated.  Learning to read music is not going to happen overnight, in a week or even months.  It can take years.

Is there a discount for siblings?

Yes - ask us about it in your consultation interview.

What age should I start my child on music lessons?

We accept kids from around 4 years of age, sometimes 3 1/2.  It depends on these 4 things:

  1. Fine motor skills - any issues?  Can they write their name legibly?

  2. Count to 10?

  3. Know the alphabet song?  At least up to letter G?

  4. Can sit and focus on one activity for at least 5 minutes?

Do you teach children with special needs?

Yes. Because of our adaptive and inclusive curriculum, the Musicolor Method©, we have been able to successfully work with many children with special needs including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyslexia, and slow learners.
