In our beginner ukulele lessons you learn the core basics of the instrument: how to hold it, tune the G-C-E-A strings, read simple chord diagrams, and play your very first open chords. You'll also practise basic down-and-up strumming rhythms to play simple songs.

Guitar

Tuesday nights 6:00–8:00pm

During beginner guitar lessons you learn foundational skills like proper posture, tuning the instrument, and playing basic open chords. You'll also practise simple strumming patterns, read basic chord charts and tablature (tabs), and apply these skills to play your very first song.

Keyboarding

Open

Beginner keyboarding lessons introduce the basics of the instrument: keyboard layout, proper posture, finger numbering, basic music theory, and simple hand coordination. You'll learn to find notes using black-key landmarks, read simple sheet music or chord charts, and even choose your own song to learn.

Vocal Pro

Our vocal lessons focus on building healthy technique, improving breath control, posture and body awareness, and performance quality, then applying those skills to specific songs.
