Welcome!

We are a team of instructors located all around the Greater Dayton area and teach piano, voice, saxophone, guitar, music theory, music production, and life skills like goals, discipline, and positive self-talk.

We ask that you read through our FAQ's and do not book anything without speaking to one of our team members so we can get you the best fit!

For piano, we begin teaching at 6 months and up!

For other instruments, we can get you in contact with the instructor as it differs per child and instrument.

Please call or text our business number of (513) 289-2878 with your name and child's age.

We have several instructors who are cross-trained and experts in fields!

Piano

Music Theory (Classical, Jazz, Gospel, and Pop)

Guitar

Saxophone

Music Production

Vocals (Male + Female Instructors)

We have options on how long an instrument lesson can be depending on the age/experience/attention span of the student and the instructor's recommendation. (See Picture)

The student will begin with their goals and affirmations to get grounded and focused, then there will be an incorporation of -

music theory, lesson book, fun pieces, recital piece/etiquette, flash cards, and/or music games.

We have three home studios we teach out of!

Brandie's Home Studio

4416 Hawk Watch Way, Dayton OH 45424

Matthew's Home Studio

405 Windsor Park Dr. Dayton OH 45459

Michelle's Home Studio

552 Willow Creek Way, Troy OH 45373

Depending on your instructor, your needs, and budget, there is also an option for us to come to you or do virtual lessons (recommended only for adults)!

Our very first lesson together will be making sure it's a great personality fit for the student and instructor!

The first 5-10 minutes will be getting to know each other, establishing expectations, and going over what goals and affirmations are and why we use them.

The remainder of the lesson(s) depends on length of time left and level of the student.

Our main priorities in regards to building a strong musical foundation include...

1. Knowing Left Hand from Right Hand

2. Learning Finger Numbers

3. Learning the Patterns and Notes (White Notes to Start)

4. Beginner Flash Cards (treble clef, bass clef etc.)

5. C Major and A Minor Scales with Correct Posture and Finger Positions.

Once these are mastered, we begin bookwork, chording, and ear training and build skills from there!

Absolutely not!

You don't have to have any experience or knowledge before beginning any instrument or skill lesson with us.

Even if your goals are outside of music theory and note-reading, we can customize our teaching approach to your interests and genre preferences.

We do however include basic theory to everyone to make sure you have a strong musical foundation and we can communicate effectively to reach your goals!

If your goals do include a more Classical music or Jazz approach, we will be more theory focused in our lessons and homework.

Weekly 15 minute to 30 minute lessons have shown to yield the best results as long as the student is consistent in their practice outside of our lesson time.

If you're on a time or budget constraint, no worries!

Bi-weekly lessons can be effective as well.

Whether it's yourself learning, or a child(ren) - we all want to know when we can play like a pro!

We have a more 'relaxed' approach to instructing.

Which means we will never be upset, angry, or disappointed if an adequate amount of practice did not take place in between our lessons.

Our goal is for the student to FALL IN LOVE WITH MUSIC, not achieve perfection. We push the student to be and do their best; which looks different for every single person!

Practice makes PROGRESS (not perfection) 😊

The more time a student dedicates to their skill and craft, the quicker they will progress.

Below are our ideal lesson approach we use for the first 20 weeks.
