Frequently asked questions.

How Much Do lessons cost?

That’s an average of 4 lessons per month, or 48 lessons per year!

Our “one-off” lessons cost $35/$52/$70* for 30/45/60 minute lessons.

What about breaks?

Fall Break: November 23rd - 29th

Winter Break: December 21st - January 3rd

Tuition is a flat monthly rate year-round, regardless of holidays or the number of weeks in a given month. On average, students will receive four lessons per month over the course of the year.

This even billing ensures all students to receive the same total number of lessons annually, while allowing our teachers to enjoy planned breaks.

Thank you for understanding and helping us maintain a balanced schedule for both students & instructors!

Where do lessons take place?

Our school is located at 3401 St. Claude Avenue in beautiful New Orleans.

We are located on the second floor in Room 201 and Room 202. Right outside the rooms, you will find a lobby area to hang out in before your lesson. Parking is located in the front of the building or on Desire Street right next to the building.

We also offer lessons from home studios in Mid City and Uptown.

What instruments do you teach?

Voice, piano, guitar, ukulele, saxophone, clarinet, flute, percussion, and strings.

We’re working to add to this list as we grow!

What about Recitals?

Our monthly lesson plan includes recital opportunities, as well as access to masterclasses.

We have two big recitals per year, our Spring Recital in May and our Winter Recital in December. Check the Programs and Events Page located under Current Students for more details.

Non-monthly students can attend recitals and masterclasses for an additional fee. Please check in Events and Programs for more information on our next recital.

What happens if i need to cancel?

Cancellations more than 24 hours in advance will receive a make-up credit.

Make-up lessons can be scheduled through our student portal. Make up lesson credits expire 45 days after they are issued.

I need to stop lessons. What do i do?

If you ever need to stop lessons, just let your teacher or our admin team know. We ask that you tell us before your last lesson of the month, so your teacher can plan a special “closure” lesson to wrap things up nicely.

If you’d like to take a break, that’s totally fine! We’ll need to take you off the schedule while you’re away — unless you’d like to hold your spot by continuing payment for that time.

When you’re ready to come back, we’ll do our best to get you back on the schedule as soon as possible (though your original day and time can’t always be guaranteed).
