    Rated 5 out of 5 by Marty is wonderful! Marty and I clicked instantly and she is so easy to work with. The teaching environment is relaxed and she makes me feel comfortable. As an adult taking singing lessons for the first time, I was a bit self-consious at first but Marty has made me feel very comfortable and more confident in my abilities. I have already grown so much in the time I've spent with her and I look forward to continuing to work with her. April 18, 2013

    Rated 5 out of 5 by Piano lessons Marty is very encouraging and has really pushed me to focus on improvising and I have seen a huge improvement in my chord structures and my ability to transpose. It's very exciting to see the progress so quickly. October 11, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Had a good time on the first two lessons. However, I just happen to run into a colleague this week that plays piano at gigs and likes to jam. We had good fit on the first jam session and plan to jam on a regular basis. This is the reason I will no longer have a need for lessons. Thanks, Mike June 5, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaidan's Piano Lessons I would like to say that Miss Marty is an amazing and caring piano teacher who has done an exceptional job with my son Jaidan. He is learning so much from her!! I was also touched with the care she took in putting the children's recital together. It was well organized and she had such a talented group of children who peformed songs to piano pieces. It was an excellent learning experience for me and my son! She also did a magnificent job with the program announcement in which she added a personal touch by asking parents to send in pictures of their children and a personal message to our child which she put on the program. It was one of those things I will keep forever as a memoir!! Thanks Miss Marty for being so wonderful!!!! April 27, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by My daughter has really enjoyed Marty and her teaching style. The progress they are making is very impressive.

  • 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.

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.
