Group Music Lessons
Our group lessons are designed to feel like a real band rehearsal, giving you the experience of playing alongside other musicians.

With guidance from our expert instructors, you’ll develop your skills, improve your timing, and gain confidence in a fun, interactive setting.
Each week, you’ll participate in a one-hour group lesson, either as part of a full band—including guitar, drums, bass, keys, and vocals—or alongside other students playing the same instrument. No matter your role, you’ll learn how to play as a team, fine-tune your technique, and experience the excitement of making music together!
*Weekly one-hour group music lessons are either taught as a band with a combination of guitar, drums, bass, keys, and voice or with multiple students playing the same instrument.
