Private Lessons

While group classes expand listening capabilities and social skills, private lessons nurture self-discipline and personal achievement.  We offer private lessons in piano, voice, guitar, and percussion.

 Three parties/recitals per year, plus preparation for auditions give students real goals. Piano, guitar, drum set, strings and private voice lessons are offered at Music Experience Studio north of the King County/Snohomish County line just off the 220th Street Exit in Lynnwood/Mountlake Terrace, WA.
