SCHOOL OF MUSIC
​
The School of Music is designed to help students explore and grow their gifts and passions through local music lessons. Instructors strengthen students’ abilities with encouraging and practical instruction and students are equipped to reach their full potential in musicianship. We invite you to inquire about starting lessons today!
PRICE
Starting September 1st, all lessons will be priced at $27/half hour. All lesson payments are made electronically and automatically through our online system.
WHERE ARE THE LESSONS?
Lessons are hosted in the New Life Church building in designated spaces.
WHO ARE THE LESSONS FOR?
Lessons are for people of all ages and backgrounds. We highly recommend waiting until a student is eight years old to start, and believe it is never too late to learn how to do something new! There are endless benefits to learning and mastering a musical skill.
WHAT IF I NEED TO MISS A LESSON?
Students only pay for lessons they attend. However, if students cannot make it, they must cancel 24 hours in advance or payment is still required. Many of our instructors travel here to teach and we want to honor that.
OUR INSTRUCTORS
All of our instructors go through an interview, background check, and 'School of Music' training to best serve you. They are first and foremost musicians, and in their passion for their craft, they desire to educate and share their passion and skills with others. They are proficient in their content area and determined to equip each student with the skills they need to be successful.
