Our Teachers
All of our teachers hold university degrees specifically in their instrument. We selected them for their passion for music and care for teaching. They are always encouraging and positive, catering to each student’s interests, desires, and goals. We teach with an “American Approach” to music education, with your hands on the instrument from the first day (read our blog post about the American Approach).

A free 45-minute trial lesson is offered to all new students. We want to ensure the teacher we chose for you is the right match!

Introduction Call
Before you sign up, our admissions team is available to speak about your personal musical goals and desires and to answer any questions you may have.
ABRSM Prep
The Conservatory prepares about 25% of our student body for optional ABRSM exams. These exams are not mandatory.
ABRSM exams are designed to motivate students of all levels and ages, giving them realistic goals and tangible rewards for their achievements. Since 1889, ABRSM has provided music teachers and their students with exams and assessments that nurture and evaluate an individual’s performance and progress. To learn the complete details of these exams, please visit www.abrsm.org or read our blog post.
