How lessons work at Rising Stars
Every lesson is one-on-one: one teacher, one student, for 30, 45, or 60 minutes, in one of our five lesson rooms.
In the first lesson, your teacher sets a big goal, a small goal, and a practice plan with you. Every lesson after that starts from those goals.
- A weekly time held just for you once it clicks.
- Pay as you go, charged about a day before each lesson.
- Skip a week with more than 24 hours' notice.
“Sean and his team have been teaching my daughter piano for 2 years and she loves it! We previously used another music school for 6 months and she had made essentially no progress. She started immediately improving once we moved her to Rising Stars.”William W.
Lessons we teach
Lessons for kids, from age 3
Kids can start at age 3. For ages 3 to 5 we usually suggest piano or drums, since small hands find guitar frets hard.
Kids 3 and 4 can start with a shorter 15-minute lesson. Most students start with 30 minutes.
Parents get practice notes after lessons, and students get to play on stage at our student showcases.
What it costs
One simple price by lesson length, the same for every instrument. $50 a lesson, pay as you go, no sign up fees, no packages, no contracts.
