Lesson pricing

Piano, guitar, bass, songwriting, production. Everything costs the same. $40 for 30 minutes, $60 for 60 minutes.

Which length should you choose?

Little kids and brand-new beginners do fine with 30 minutes. Adults, producers and songwriters usually get more out of the full hour.

What is included

Every lesson ends with something to practice and a reason to practice it. We build around songs, small creative wins, or music you actually finish.

  • We start with music you can actually hear and use
  • Technique gets built around what you want to play
  • You leave every lesson knowing what's next
  • The intro is where we pick your path

Choose the path that matches your goal.

$20 Intro

Thirty minutes to talk about what you want and see if we click. It's credited toward your first month.

Half Hour

$40. The right length for beginners and younger students.

Full Hour

$60. Room for real instrument, songwriting, or production work.

Simple monthly lesson plans. Cancel anytime.

Most people keep going weekly or every other week after the intro. Your $20 intro is credited toward the first month. No packages, no contracts, and you can pause or stop whenever you need to. Showing up every week is what turns "I tried it once" into "I can actually play."
