Introduction: We feel that learning music should be fun. We base our teaching around songs and having fun. Most teachers focus on scales, chords and theory - which while important, is decidedly not fun. We find that if we make the process enjoyable, and link the learning to music that the student enjoys, that they in time will learn the scales, chords and theory as they progress. Helping people discover their love for music and the thrill of performance is why we get out of bed every day!

Bought a new fender guitar with a month of free lessons. Great instructor. You didn't tell me you were going to take my credit card number 💳 and take my instructor fees out of my account without telling me!! I never authorized this. The first month you did it i...t shorted my mortgage Payment and cost me a lot of late fees not to mention hassle dealing with chase mortgage. Before I could shut my card off you did it again last month as I was trying to purchase parts at a company and got it declined cause I wasn't prepared for a subtraction of my account. That cost me time and embarrassment to run back to shop for cash. The card is now shut down and you no longer will get my business

Hi Doug - we are very concerned to read this - I can imagine how frustrating this would be! You should have received a lesson agreement that explained that you are paying for them monthly... Can you email lessons@springfieldmusic.com so that we can make sure you are removed from our charge list and also to see if there is something we can do to make this up to you?

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We charge a flat monthly fee for lessons. This means that you will receive 4 or 5 lessons per month - all at the same monthly rate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Unlike most teachers that focus on scales and chords, and chords and scales, we start by teaching the student using the music they like. We will spend time finding their interests, what they hope to get out of lessons, and build a unique, customized plan based on the student.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our teachers have a combination of academic training with lots of professional playing experience. However, it is our belief that the most important quality in a teacher is one who can connect with the student, and instill in them the confidence to perform. Music should be fun - not a chore!
