  • Rated 5 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Go for it! Being very experienced with teaching to both children and adults of all backgrounds and ambitions, Anne is a very skilled and smart teacher. Her pedagogy has obviously been refined over many years and is clever and efficient yet easy-going and painless. She mixes theory and more academic learning with ear-training, relying as well on your more natural instincts, in order to equip you with the varied skills of a complete musician. She really tailors the teaching to your specific goals and level, as well. All this in a very gentle, easy and genuinely caring way. And always with a smile. Just go for it! February 14, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne cares about her students Anne is an awesome vocal instructor. She focused on exactly what I needed to work on and helped me stay focused every time I sang. My friends have noticed a significant improvement in my singing in such a short time thanks to Anne's instruction. Thank you Anne! August 21, 2011
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Superb Teacher! I took piano lessons as a child " two years with a Julliard teacher and a few years with another teacher who didn't meet my needs. After 20 years of not playing a note I got a new piano and realized I needed a professional teacher. As a result of my experience with my second childhood teacher, I was very careful in choosing a teacher as an adult. Anne is as good as my Julliard teacher was, and is the perfect instructor for me. Pieces I tossed aside six or nine months ago as "too difficult", I'm now playing.Anne " Thank you for all your wonderful instruction and help! - Marion M February 17, 2011
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Inspiring and Practical Anne is a thoroughly professional teacher with a very practical down-to-earth style. She tailored her rigorous, well thought-out teaching approach to my specific needs. I was preparing for a chorus part in an opera and I can't tell you how much I benefitted from my lessons with Anne. She listened to my particular needs, recognized the areas I most needed help with, and then provided specific exercises to practice, offered hints to learn and sing difficult phrases, and inspired me to do well. I very highly recommend Anne. November 4, 2009
    Rated 5 out of 5 by great teacher She is teaching me everything that i have lost over the years of not training especially when it comes to breathing while I sing and being able to take less breathes per phrase. July 23, 2009
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Awesome Teacher Anne is a great teacher! She has vast knowledge of music and knows how to teach it well. I took music lessons when I was a child, and can honestly say that I wasn't taught properly. Love for music alone isn't enough. With Anne, I'm finally learning how to read music!! She's very enthusiastic about what she does and loves to work on any project you present to her. I have a son who's 3 1/2 years old and he already loves to read my music book, sing along with me and do the breathing exercises Anne has taught me. I'll definitely be bringing him to Anne very soon!! I highly recommend Anne as a music teacher who can bring out the love of music in anyone!!! January 16, 2009
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Wonderful Teacher! Anne is a great teacher for my 10 year-old daughter's voice lesson. My husband is picky about selecting teacher for our daughter and he is very happy about how Anne teaches her on the first day. Anne is very patient and helpful. My daughter really likes her very much and is looking forward to meeting Anne every week. Thanks Anne. June 15, 2008
  • Getting Started

    Excited about jumping into music lessons? Before you can get to the guitar tabs, violin concertos, and vocal riffs, take a moment to think about the logistics of your lessons.
    Lesson Length
    There are a few things to consider when choosing between 30-, 45- or 60-minute lessons. First and foremost, take your age and experience level into account. You'll also want to think about your long- and short-term goals, and the time you'll need to reach them. Most importantly, consider how long you or your child is able to stay focused.
    Lesson Location
    Teachers have the option to display availability for in-home, in-studio, and online music lessons. In-home lessons take place at your house, in-studio lessons are conducted at the teacher's home or professional studio, and online lessons are taught over the internet via live video chat.

    Book Your Lessons Online

    Scheduling your lessons is simple and quick! The prompts will guide you through each step, from securing your lesson time to selecting the payment plan that works best for you.
    Scheduling Lessons
    After you've selected your teacher, click on the Availability tab to see which time slots and days are open.
    Booking Options
    Click the "Book Online" button to get started. Enter in your contact information, and the prompts will guide you through payments, program options, and confirming your schedule. Learn more about our booking policies.
    Payment and Billing
    We make paying for your lessons convenient and hassle-free! Prices vary based on several factors, including the city you live in, the length of your lessons, and whether you're taking them at home, in your teacher's studio, or online. Lessons are paid for in advance, which locks in your time slot.
    Signing Your Customer Agreement
    Signing your Customer Agreement and completing your Student Questionnaire is the last step! The questionnaire will give your instructor valuable information about your goals and experience level, and give him or her time to create a customized lesson plan right from the start.

    Start Your Lessons

    Now the excitement can really begin! Consider the following to ensure an exceptional first lesson...
    Prepare for Your First Lesson
    Once you've completed the last step, your teacher will call you within the next couple of days to confirm your first lesson time and provide you with directions to their studio, if needed. We also encourage you to discuss your goals and any other questions you may have.
    What To Expect
    Every teacher is different, but most first lessons begin with an assessment of where you are in your studies. At a beginner level, you might review the basics of your instrument, such as the different parts, how to hold it correctly, and proper care and maintenance. For voice, this may be the time you learn about breathing and posture.
    Reach the Goals You Set
    Every TakeLessons student is unique, and so is your lesson plan! You'll work with your instructor to develop a plan suited to meet your specific goals. Most TakeLessons instructors will also keep track of your progress with a lesson journal.
