Music is meant to be shared and enjoyed by everyone. 

Regardless of skill level, how long you've been playing, or how long it's been since you last played, NOW is a great time to get started with music lessons.

Work with your teacher to build a flexible lesson schedule that fits your needs and lifestyle. All ages (youth and adults) are welcome. Jazz lessons are available for Bass, Drums, Guitar, Piano, Saxophone, Trombone, Trumpet and Voice. Be sure to select the jazz option for your instrument when you register.
