Schedules & Groups

Classes are organized by age so each group can learn at the right pace, enjoy a more comfortable experience, and build skills more effectively. Students will also learn using songs they love, so classes are never boring. Each student gets to choose the music they want to play, making learning fun and personal.

Classes are open to students with no experience as well as those who already play a little or a lot — we welcome all skill levels.

Why Study Music?

Research in child development and music education suggests that music training can support important areas of growth, especially when children learn consistently in a positive and structured environment.

Music study can support the development of attention, working memory, and self-control.

Learning guitar helps strengthen patience, consistency, and hand-eye coordination.

Music gives children a healthy and creative way to express emotions.

Group music study can help children listen better, respect turns, and work with others.

Playing songs children enjoy makes learning feel more natural, joyful, and motivating.

Research note: several studies and scientific reviews have found frequent benefits of music training in children, especially in executive functions such as inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility, along with associations with verbal and reading skills. Results may vary depending on age, training duration, and the student’s consistency.
