Adults

Your first lesson, as an adult

Many of our students are adults. Some played as children and some never touched a keyboard. Nobody is graded, and nobody is behind.

  1. 01

    Step 1: You play, or you talk

    Play what you remember, or tell your teacher what you would like to play. Both are a good start.

  2. 02

    Step 2: A teacher listens

    We hear where your hands are and what you enjoy, then choose a first piece together.

  3. 03

    Step 3: You leave with a plan

    A short list for the week, a lesson length that fits your schedule, and a weekly time.

Evenings and weekends

Times that fit around work

Lessons run until 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday, until 6 p.m. on Friday and from 9 a.m. on Saturday. Adults often choose 45 or 60 minutes, and a lesson we cancel for weather is always made up.
