We teach beginning through advanced piano lessons, guitar lessons and drum lessons in most styles of music. We teach children and adults. Our teachers have an enthusiastic, low-keyed positive approach.

We develop each student's creative power and musicality - along with technique, counting and musical analysis. We also instill confidence in our students, and make the lessons fun and interesting. Our teachers use traditional and innovative teaching techniques to achieve the best results.

Other Studio Information:	When you study lessons at the academy you will be studying with a professional musician and experienced teacher. It is important to choose the right school and teacher when you are a beginner. The right teacher will inspire you and skillfully guide you toward understanding and playing music well.

The Academy has an artistic ambience and we welcome and encourage parents to stay for the lessons. We take pride in presenting a clean environment for you and your children.
Standard Rates:	Tuition is competetive with professional teachers in Mercer Island and the Seattle and Bellevue areas. Tuition is for private lessons, with an occassional group lesson instead of a private lesson. Your lessons are provided to you based on a monthly tuition for 48 weeks throughout the year. There are four weeks we close for vacation at our discretion, but you are not charged for them. Your tuition is averaged so that it is the same each month (48 ÷ 12 = monthly tuition). This makes it easier for you and for our accounting system. ▬ Four scheduled 15 minute lessons per month $70 (For young children who may be ready to try lessons.) ▬ Four scheduled 30 minute lessons per month $140 ▬ Four scheduled 45 minute lessons per month $210 ▬ Four scheduled 60 minute lessons per month $280

Term Dates:	Tuition is required each month for a student to remain enrolled in the studio. If you go on an extended vacation you may stay enrolled as long as your tuition remains current. If you do discontinue, you may return with the teacher's permission, but you may have to go on a waiting list to resume lessons.
