Four instruments. One great shop.
Every lesson is one-on-one, custom-paced, and held at 316 East 84th Street, or at your place if that's easier. We take students from age 5 through adult, complete beginners to advanced players.
Guitar
Acoustic and electric. Chords, technique, scales, and real songs from day one. The instrument that opens every door.
Bass Guitar
Groove, rhythm, and the backbone of every band. For students who feel the low end and want to be the foundation of the music.
Ukulele
Four strings and instant gratification. Students play real songs in the first session. Great for all ages, especially younger beginners.
Drums
Rhythm, coordination, and pure energy. Lessons on pads and kit, for students who feel the beat and need somewhere to put it.
From first inquiry to first note in days.
No complicated signup flows. No waitlists. Just great instruction.
