Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Lessons in person or online?

We offer both! Whatever is easiest and most appropriate for you, we can accomodate.

How much do Lessons Cost?

We offer both SUBSCRIPTIONS (for weekly lessons, billed monthly) and PACKAGE DEALS (offer more flexibility on the scheduling, but cost more upfront).

The most common Subscription is for one 30 minute lesson every week, and that costs $150 dollars per Month.

The most popular Package Deal is for 3 months of lessons (12), and that’s right around $430 dollars.

How long until I can play like Jimi Hendrix?

It totally depends on the student. Some people are predisposed to be amazing players - but most of us won’t be, and that’s okay!

We’ve seen students achieve some amazing goals by staying consistent, asking questions, and showing up every week.

As a good gauge - if you have never played before, you should start to see some fun results after about 5 or 6 months (meaning you can play a song or two), but we’re always checking in with our students to see how they’re feeling about the lessons and their practice routine.

How do I know if you’re the right teacher for me?

Well, put simply, you don’t! But that’s why we offer a FREE consultation. It has only happened a few times that the student and teacher just don’t jive, but it is possible. The Sound Room has many qualified teachers, and you can have a consultation with every one of them if you’d like, just to see who fits best with your needs.

Will these lessons help to cut down on mine or my child’s screen time?

I sure hope so. I believe that we are all in a bit of a screen-time-crisis, and I’m including myself in that. So much of what we do every day is controlled on a computer, and with our kids we’re worried about video game addiction. I get this question all the time and the answer is simple: if it’s a family decision to cut down on the screen time and make your instrument a new priority, then there’s a great chance that music lessons can help.

But everybody has to be involved. If you think that your kid is going to start playing guitar (which literally hurts at first) instead of Call of Duty just because you are paying for it, think again. If you’re all committed to working together, however, I’ve seen it become a very effective measure for families creating more closeness with one another away from the screens.

Do you work with people who are neurodivergent?

This has become a more common question in the past 2 years, and the answer is a simple YES! I often love working with people who have neuro divergent minds, because they can teach me a lot about myself and my teaching style as well.

We accept and work with all types of people, and I believe that the core of this job is understanding the person and how they think. Learning doesn’t happen otherwise.
