For children, starting at the right age is a key element to the success of their studying a musical instrument. Some people believe that “the sooner the better”. This attitude can actually backfire and can result in a negative experience for the child. If a child is put into lessons too soon they may feel overwhelmed and frustrated and may want to stop taking lessons. The last thing you want to do is turn a child off music just because they had one unpleasant experience that could have been prevented.
Kids 4 - 6 If a pre-schooler has a keen desire and wants to start music, a group preschool music class will give them a good foundation in music basics that will be helpful in later music adventures. private lessons. click to see the video

Guitar lesson 8 years old is the earliest we recommend for guitar lessons. Guitar playing requires a fair amount of pressure on the fingertips from pressing on the strings. Children under 8 generally have small hands and may find playing uncomfortable. Bass guitar students generally are 9 years old and older. private lessons. click to see the video
Voice lesson10 years old is recommended as the youngest age for private vocal lessons. Due to the physical nature of voice lessons (proper breathing techniques, development of the vocal chords and lung capacity), the younger body is generally not yet ready for the rigors of vocal technique. For children younger than 10, we recommend a children’s choir (ages 6-9) and a preschool singing program (ages 3-5) that teaches them how to use their voices properly, in a fun, relaxed environment .
Recording Course This is a class for people interested in learning about music pre-production, recording-production, & post-production techniques.
