Frequently Asked Questions
Get Started
HOW MUCH DO LESSONS COST?
We have worked hard to make paying for your training as easy as possible. Each month costs $140 per month for a weekly 30 minute private lesson. Payments can be made in full at the beginning of a month (card and check only), or students can sign up for auto drafts.
WHAT IF I START LESSONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH? WILL I STILL PAY THE SAME AMOUNT?
Here at Groove House, we will only charge you for the amount of lessons you are enrolled to take. If you start in the middle of the month, your total price will be a prorated amount to fit how many lessons remain. For example, if you sign up and there is only one week left of the month, your total for that month will be adjusted accordingly.
WHAT IF WE HAVE TO MISS A LESSON?
No problem! We can request a video lesson from your instructor before the missed lesson. Your instructor will use your lesson time to create a personalized video and we will send it to you through YouTube! That way, you wont miss a beat.
WHAT MUSICAL STYLES DO YOU TEACH?
We teach a broad range of musical styles and focus lessons around each individual student’s desires and goals. Our instructors teach rock, jazz, blues, classical, pop, country, and anything in betwee
WILL I PERFORM A RECITAL?
We offer many different types of performance opportunities including in-house shows, gigs at local venues and markets, and our students are requested to play local events all throughout the year. Our biggest events are our showcases in the spring and winter. Performances are not required and have a $25 registration fee.
DO I NEED TO OWN AN INSTRUMENT TO TAKE LESSONS?
Each student should absolutely have an instrument at home to practice on. We do not have any instruments for rent.
DO YOU TEACH ADULTS?
Yes! We have a large number of adult students. Some of our adult students are trying an instrument for the first time, and some are long-time musicians just looking to improve their skills.
HOW DO THE MONTHLY AUTO PAYMENTS WORK?
It’s really easy to sign up for a direct debit account with us! The total of $140 will be billed monthly. You are required to put a card or checking account on file as an insurance to our instructors.
WHAT IF I WANT TO TAKE TWO INSTRUMENTS. IS THE PRICE DOUBLE THE SEMESTER AMOUNT?
If you wish to take guitar and voice, you will need to reserve two different time slots with two different instructors. This will create two monthly charges of $140 each.
WHAT INSTRUMENTS DO YOU TEACH?
We offer piano/keys, voice, electric/acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, electric/upright bass, ukulele, and percussion.
WHAT WILL I LEARN IN MY PRIVATE LESSONS?
Whether you are a beginner or a long-time musician, Groove House instructors are prepared to take you to the next level. We teach music theory, ear training, and offer performance opportunities that will allow you to take your new skills to the stage. Each student’s lessons are 100% personalized to fit their individual needs and goals.
CAN YOU HELP ME WITH MY SCHOOL AUDITIONS?
Absolutely! Our students do exceptionally well through audition processes because they are accustomed to performing and receiving critiques. Auditions can be stressful and intimidating, we love coaching and preparing our students to shine their brightest!
HOW OLD DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BE TO TAKE LESSONS?
Every child is different, and a trial lesson will give both the instructor and parent an idea of whether or not the student is ready for private lessons. An ideal age to begin lessons would be around 6-7 years, however, we have successfully taught students as young as 4!
WHY GROOVE HOUSE?
Groove House is committed to providing completely personalized private lessons that will help any student, regardless of age or skill level, reach their own goals. Students often get to collaborate with others on music projects, and we partner with local venues to provide real-life performance opportunities and gigs that cannot be found with any other music school in the area.
WHAT IF MY LESSONS FALLS OUT ON A HOLIDAY?
Excluding bad weather, we will only close for five weeks out of the year: 4th of July week, Thanksgiving week, Christmas, New Years, and Spring break
