WHAT DO YOU LEARN IN YOUR MUSIC LESSONS? That question is often asked by prospective students. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach. A seven year old having their first guitar lesson will have very different needs than a fifty seven year old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child. The main reason to choose Upbeat Music as your music lesson provider, is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual. If you enroll here for lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC DO YOU TEACH? We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, blues and classical. ARE YOUR INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED? Our teachers have received their education from prestigious institutions such as Boston University, Mannes College of Music, Roosevelt University, Oberlin Conservatory, St. Petersburg Conservatory, University of Wisconsin, Millikin University, Western Illinois University, and VanderCook College of Music. Many of our instructors have years of professional performance and teaching experience and in addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level. We offer music lessons Monday & Thursday 3 - 8, Friday 3 - 7, Saturday & Sunday 9:30am - 5:30pm. Lessons are $32.00 per 30 minute lesson and you come once a week. We also offer 45 minute and 60 minute lessons.
