Piano

Our Post Falls facility offers piano lessons for students of all ages and abilities, beginning to advanced. We offer instruction in every style from classical to jazz and pop. We are able to match students with a teacher that works best with their particular age, ability and interest. We accept private piano students from the age of 5. Before age 5 we recommend our group preschool music program or our pre-piano private lessons. Our piano lessons are all private one-on-one instruction and lesson lengths are 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1 hour. While our piano lessons are all private, parents are more than welcome to sit in on their child’s lessons or watch their child’s lesson on our closed circuit TV viewing. For our advanced piano students we have teachers with master’s degrees in piano who can prepare them for university entrance or other auditions they may be interested in.

Guitar

Our private guitar lessons include acoustic, electric and bass guitar. We have an excellent guitar teaching staff and teach guitar lessons in everything from rock to jazz, and classical to pop. Many of our teachers are still actively performing. Our guitar teachers have college or university music degrees so they know the proper theory and technique no matter if a student is interested in metal or in classical. Guitar lessons at our schools are enhanced by the opportunity of learning how to jam with other musicians in a rock band setting or how to perform solo in one of our recitals. No matter what type of guitar lessons you are interested in, we have the teachers to help you. Typically a student would be 8 before starting guitar lessons, due to their hand size, but some younger students start with a junior sized guitar.

Drums

We offer a wide variety of drum lessons or percussion lessons. Most of our students learn on a drum kit. We have both male and female students and typically do not start drum lessons before age 8 as students need to be able to reach both the pedal and the high hat. We do have some younger students but suggest they come in for a trial drum lesson to see if they are big enough to get started. Drum lessons are taught on a drum kit in our studios and we recommend that students practice at home by purchasing or renting a drum kit.

Voice

Our voice lessons are all private one-on-one instruction. Students sing all kinds of music from their favorite artists to classical arias. Just a sample of what a student will learn in singing lessons includes how to breathe properly, how to increase their range, proper pitch, how to project and stage presence. Our schools offer performance opportunities each year with our Christmas recital, and Spring/Summer recital. We provide an accompanist who rehearses with the students and plays for them at the recitals.
