All of our teachers have passed a background check, and they have made it through an audition screen. We don't hire just anyone - we make sure they understand music theory, and and they are top notch players.
Both male and female teachers may be available depending on location and the teacher's availability. Specific gender or age requests are not guaranteed.

Leah was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. She responded quickly to all of my questions and made the process of finding the right teacher easy and stress-free. One of our biggest goals was finding a single instructor who could teach both piano and voice lessons, and Leah was able to match us with the perfect teacher for both. Her communication has been excellent throughout, and we are very pleased with the instructor she connected us with. I highly recommend Leah and Traveling Music Lessons to anyone looking for quality music instruction and outstanding customer service.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our rates are $40 dollars for 30 minutes, $55 dollars for 45 minutes and $70 dollars for an hour. This covers the cost of the lesson, and a $5 dollar fee is applied for resources used to get to your home.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We are thrilled to hear you want to work with us and join our music school. Once we hear from you, we will ask for your contract information (email and/or phone) and your scheduling needs. From there, we will reach out to our teachers and see who is available to accommodate your request. After we have booked the lesson, your teacher will arrive at your home during the designated time, and you will explore your inner musician!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our teachers hold music degrees or equivalent work experience. They all pass an audition screen, and we make sure they are not only excellent players, but also educated in music theory and aural skills.
