Service Description

Every lessons is handmade just for the student. Learning pace, style genre and goals are all student driven. Making this experience the most handcrafted lesson experience you have had. Every instructor operates with one goal in mind. To make sure every student and family feels LOVED. VALUED. CARED FOR. Loved = Sacrifice - The instructors preferences do not trump the students needs. Our instructors lead with intentionality to listen and learn about their students so they can serve them where they are as human and budding musician. Valued = Seen - Because our instructors actually listen to their students, they get to know them. They give them space to share in their life, space to ask questions, space to be vulnerable and be a human that is honest without the fear of judgement that comes from that. Cared For = Invested In - Because our instructors focus so intently on relationship. The relationship between themselves and the student, the instrument to the student, the student to the parent and the parent to the instructor. It everyone is on mission together. That mission is to help our students become healthy humans. Healthy Humans = Healthy Musicians. The Music - Music is a language. Whether you are learning the cello, guitar, bass or vocals. Music does not change. The way we communicate does not change. We teach from a music theory base, with the specific goal of giving our students the ability to truly play their instruments. Not just a song. If you have the tools to really play, you can play any song. Who do we recommend the hour lesson to? - Anyone who wants to grow as a musician and wants an outsized return on their time in lesson. Many adults take this path but we also have many 10-18 year olds that are also in the this path. Why is the hour better? - You can unpack complex ideas, in a slow applicable manner and then actually put it into repetition all in one single time slot. It gives lot of creativity to the student on how they can grow. It gives the student a lot of repetition that is on purpose and correct. Repetition Bleeds Consistency and Consistency Is The Mark Of A Professional.

Cancellation Policy

Private Lessons may need to be canceled due a number of reasons. We try to be as flexible as possible for our families and students. Life is messy. Makeups do not have to be. If you need to miss a lesson, cancel it and book a makeup lesson with your instructor. All of our instructors have group makeup slots (No more than 4) per group. This is a great introduction to learning how to play with other students, very similar to our band experiences. However most of the time, our makeups end up being one on one anyway. We want to serve you well, if there are no available makeup slots on the instructor schedule. Reach out to fmgmakeups@gmail.com for some help finding a creative solution.
