How long are lessons?
We have 1/2 hour and 1 hour sessions. If this would be the only time each week you would get a music workout, we recommend the 1 hour session. If you are able to commit to practice at least 1/2 hour per week at home, then the 1/2 hour lesson session will do just fine.
Do you discount lessons?
Yes. We offer 20% discounts for seniors over 55 years old. Additionally, if a family or individual takes more than 2 lessons, the 3rd and continuing lessons will be discounted 20% each.
How long will it take to learn?
After you first piano lesson, you will be playing the piano...the same holds true for a guitar lesson! Amazing curriculum, amazing teachers!
I only have a keyboard. Is that OK?
That is just fine. If you need any help in purchasing a keyboard, we will be happy to educate and assist you.
Where can I purchase a piano?
Look in the newspapers for used piano's for sale or open they yellow pages. You will be amazed to see how many stores there are in the greater Orlando that sell new and used pianos.
Should I buy an Acoustic or Electric guitar?
That is your choice. We give lessons on both. I would suggest starting with an Acoustic Guitar. We sell a brand new Gibson for $120.00.
I may want to play the guitar but I'm not sure if I want to invest in buying one?
You can purchase an inexpensive guitar from the newspaper, or a pawn shop or Wal-mart....or you can rent a nice one from us for $10.00 a week until you decide if you'd like to continue.
What is the youngest age you teach?
We start piano students at 4 years old.
We begin guitar students at 5 years old.
We begin voice at 5 years old.
We begin Drama coaching at 4 years old.
Am I too old to learn?
You are never to old to learn! As a matter of fact, learning a musical instrument has a positive medical and emotional & spiritual benefits on your total well being!
Where is your studio?
In the Eastern part of Orlando in a subdivision called Wedgefield:
20804 Maxim Parkway, Orlando, FL 32833
Will I have to play in a recital?
No, we not participate in recitals for the simple reason that we do not want the whole focus of our curriculum to be gearing you for a presentation.
How much practice do you require?
We ask you to be ready to commit 15 minutes a day. We start at 15 minutes because we know how busy life can get. With practicing at least 15 minutes a day, you will find yourself moving forward and progressing. Of course, if you are able to spend more time, you would progress quicker with more progress!
Should I make my child practice?
Yes. In my 30+ years experience, I would say that 9 out of 10 children will come back and say that they are glad that their parents made them practice!
I like to sing, but I sing off-key. Will Voice Lessons help?
Definitely. 99% of all voices can be trained to maximize vocalization...your voice is an organ that can be worked on and you will improve your singing skills.
