Most of our students take lessons on a long-term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.

Yes. Even if you don't have a musical background, you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help you or your child practice. By simply monitoring that you are doing exercises a certain number of times per day, the student will progress. Parents will occasionally sit in on their child's music lesson to get an idea of the proper way a song should sound.
