Lessons are private, one student, one teacher, 50 minutes per session. Pricing runs from a single lesson ($125) up to the Semester Pack ($1,600 for 16). The most common starting point is the 4-Lesson Pack at $450, four lessons to see if the fit is right.
The easiest first step for piano is the $25 trial lesson, thirty minutes at the studio piano, no commitment. For voice, start with a free 15-minute intro call. Either way, you’ll know within one conversation whether this is your spot.
