Private In-Home or Online Music Lessons


Voice, Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, Saxophone, Drums, & Bass

Students of all ages and levels are placed with our excellent faculty. We will match students’ needs with an appropriate teacher and assign the lesson day and time. Students can register at any time during the year. Lessons are either 30 min, 45 min or an hour. Free, non-pressure recitals are held twice a year. Please call so we can place you with a teacher who meets your learning style and goals.

  • Trained Teachers & Performers
    Our instructors are highly qualified, most holding their masters degree in music and many have extensive performance experience. Most importantly our instructors strive to relate their teaching to each individual student’s learning style.
  • Focus on teaching
    All we do is teach. We do not sell or rent instruments. This leaves us free to specialize in one thing – providing the highest quality of music instruction.
  • Ages 6 and up, Beginner to Advanced
    From age six through adult, students of all abilities have the flexibility to grow within our program.
  • Regular Recitals
    Recitals are held at least twice a year. These provide students with performance experience and build confidence. Participation in performance class, master class and workshops is also available.

Warren Jones - piano, keyboard, drums, guitar
My musical journey began at the age of five when my mother took me to see the legendary Ray Charles. The concert is still vivid in my mind and set me on a path of musical discovery that led to an undergraduate degree in music from Wichita State University and a Masters in Music from Tufts University. Decades of performing, teaching and research have led me to my passion: introducing young minds to music and igniting the spark that can create a lifelong connection with music.
