We teach Private Lessons Monday through Friday from 2:00 to 9:00 and Saturday from 10:00 to 4:00. Semi-private Group Lessons are taught by appointment only. Call us at 301-774-5690 to inquire as to schedule availability, and send us an email should you have any additional questions.
We believe anyone can and should play! Music is indeed the universal language that expresses what words cannot. Our teaching philosophies are as varied as our talented staff but in general we think a student should learn for fun, should know their instrument and how to care for it, and should pursue their individual goals. Want to learn how to read music? Gotcha. Want to learn that new song you heard? Not a problem. Want to write and play your own stuff? Sounds like a plan. Sign up!
