of our music teachers offer small-group lessons, classes or workshops
on their primary instrument as well as for general topics such as Music Theory
or a music style. Keep in mind too that you can usually sign up
two or more siblings (or other family members) for
piano
lessons or
guitar
lessons. Just ask an instructor!
