    My career is varied and special:

    Rated 5 out of 5 by Patient and easy to learn from I've been taking vocal lessons from Brittany for the past month and it's been a fantastic experience. Her patience and knowledge has really helped me begin to expand my range and technique. Any time I get stuck on an exercise, she finds a way for me to connect with it and move past whatever is holding me back. I look forward to continuing my lessons with her for many months to come!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by isel brown britney was fabulous! she is sweet, patient, educated and talented! my daughter loved her! June 26, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Awesome! My daughter is 5 1/2 years old and has only had 2 months of piano lessons prior to moving to L.A. a year ago. About 3 weeks ago, she started lessons with Ms. Brittany. Right away they had a good chemistry. Ms. Brittany is sweet, patient, and encouraging. My little girl loves to practice and even remembers to do it on her own and remembers what to do. She looks forward to her weekly lessons, to learn something new and to show Ms.Brittany what she can do. So far, this has been a great experience :) June 12, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Brittany is excellent. She works with me professionally, respectfully and the singing lessons are so fun. I look forward to my lessons and I know that I am in good hands. She has both the background and the integrity in her craft that makes me want to continue learning with her. March 23, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Singing We love her!! She is both professional and fun and has a beautiful voice.Thank you June 8, 2011
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Thanks for everything! Brittany-Good morning! I cancelled my Take Lessons account effective immediately as I had a change of heart re: continuing to take these. With no real goal in mind with these lessons and many other activities I'm involved with week in and week out it simply isn't something I want to do anymore.Thanks for everything, I enjoyed the lessons we had and if you need a referral in the future for other students coming in I would be happy to attest to your technique.

  • 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.

    Programs & Pricing

    The billing management tools in your online account help you keep track of your upcoming payments. And with several lesson programs available, you can select the one that fits your individual needs.
    100% Money Back Guarantee
    If you're not completely satisfied with your first lesson, we'll gladly find you another instructor or refund your entire lesson purchase.
    Can I pay when I get to the lesson?
    In order to reserve your time slot, we require payment at the time of booking, which must be at least seven days before your first lesson takes place.
    How does billing work?
    Lessons are paid for in advance, which reserves your time slot and the teacher that you want. Your specific billing date will depend on the lesson program you select.
    What forms of payment do you accept?
    At this time, we accept payments via Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. You also have the option to pay with a debit card. We do not accept payment via cash, check, or money order.
    Do you offer a free trial lesson?
    We don't offer a free trial lesson; however, we're so confident that you'll love your lessons that we offer new customers a 100% Money Back Guarantee. If you take your first lesson and decide that you don't want to continue, we'll refund the amount you paid INCLUDING the lesson you've already taken. To request the Money Back Guarantee, simply notify us within 72 hours of your first lesson.
    Do you offer any discounts?
    At this time, we don't offer any discounts. However, if you are booking two students for consecutive in-home lessons, you'll only be charged one travel fee, instead of one fee per lesson.
