Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good age to start?
Any age is a good age to start! We have students from five to eighty years old currently enrolled at our school. We truly believe that music is for all ages.
How much experience do I need?
We teach every ability so if you are just starting out as a beginner, or are ready for master classes, you can select the program that is right for you.
Should I have my own instrument?
It’s always best to have your own instrument. We are happy to help you select the right one for you, and we also offer a rental program.
How often should I practice?
The more that you practice the faster you will become better at playing your instrument. We suggest a minimum of 20 minutes a day, three times a week.
What is the band program like?
Bands are comprised of three to six members, and are selected based on musical instrument so there is a good variety of styles. Band members will actively play each session.
What are your concerts like?
We typically have four to six concerts per year in collaboration with local venues, as well as part of the town Summer Concert series. Our concerts are our students’ time to shine!
