You can learn more about them by reviewing their individual bio pages, too. If you’re still not sure, please send us an email or call us at 206-407-9610 and we can help you select the right instructor that will meet your needs.

Just your smiling face and a desire to learn.

If you’re taking violin, bass, guitar or ukulele and have your own instrument, please bring it with you. If you do not own one of these kinds of instrument, we do have one available for you to use.

We don’t have cellos available for rent or use, so you’ll need to rent one prior to your first lesson.

If you’re taking a brass or woodwind instrument such as the trumpet or the saxophone, we do have clean mouthpieces at the school that you can use in order to share the instrument with your teacher.

If you decide that you’d like to continue with lessons, we suggest that you rent before buying.

If your lesson is at the main school at 4509 Midvale Ave N, you enter the school via the deck stairs on the 45th side of the building. There’s a piano mural you can’t miss! Walk up those stairs and take a seat in our waiting room; your teacher will come get you when your lesson is about to begin.

If your lesson is at the satellite school at 1201 N 46th Street, you enter via the basement door at the bottom of the driveway. Once you enter, you can hang out in the waiting room; your teacher will come get you when your lesson is about to begin.

After your free lesson, we’ll send you an email to find out how it went and to provide instructions on how to signup for more lessons.

Basically, we’ll need you to send us an email letting us know that you’d like to continue lessons and how many lessons you anticipate you’ll take each month. We’ll provide instructions on how to schedule a regularly recurring lesson, setup your billing and then send you your first invoice.

We have a 48-hour cancellation policy, and can only offer one free lesson. If you can’t make your scheduled free lesson, please do one of the following:

• You can cancel 48 hours in advance via the link included in your lesson reminder email.
• If you need to cancel with less than 48-hours’ notice, please let us know via email or by calling us at 206-407-9610. In the event of an emergency, we will consider making an exception and help you reschedule your free lesson.
