Your first lesson is on us.
Private lessons for beginners through advanced players, taught by experienced local musicians. Come try a free intro lesson — no pressure, just music.
Lessons for the instrument you love.
Every student gets a plan built around their goals — whether that's a first song, a school audition or finally understanding theory.
Guitar & bass
Acoustic, electric and classical. Chords, technique, reading, improvisation and the styles you want to play — rock, blues, jazz, folk and more.
Piano & keyboard
A friendly, fundamentals-first approach for beginning piano students of any age.
Music theory
Understand what you're playing. Scales, harmony, ear training and songwriting tools that make every instrument easier.
Woodwinds
Saxophone, clarinet and flute instruction — great for school band students who want extra help.
Ukulele
The fastest way to start making music. Perfect for young kids and adults who want a fun first instrument.
Other instruments
Our network of professional local musicians covers more instruments — ask about drums, strings, brass and voice.

Questions parents & students ask.
Do I need my own instrument?
Not for your intro lesson. If you decide to continue, we can help you rent or buy the right instrument for your size, age and budget.
What ages do you teach?
All of them! We teach young kids, teens and adults — including adults who are picking up an instrument for the very first time, or coming back after many years.
Where do lessons take place?
Lessons are held right here in the shop at 18 Mill Street in downtown Fitchburg.
What if I need to miss a lesson?
Just give us a heads-up as early as you can and we'll do our best to find a make-up time that works.
Is financial help available?
Yes. Through our partnership with the Fitchburg Cultural Alliance, eligible young students can receive free or low-cost lessons.
