We believe that everyone can learn to play music, and that music can be a powerful tool for self-expression and confidence building. Our approach to music lessons is creative and engaging, and we focus on helping our students develop their own unique musical voice, especially through songwriting,
while also learning how to play music with others.

We believe that music is a social activity,

and we encourage our students to perform and

collaborate with each other.

At East Mountain Studios, we nurture musicians of all levels toward a
lifetime of making and enjoying music.

We believe in an ears-first approach, focusing on hearing the music

and thinking critically before reading

and rote memorization.

We also teach our students to read and write music. Our new Fall 2023 curriculum focuses on
real world sight-reading (like Broadway players and other professional musicians would play),
including rhythms, melodies and chord changes, as well as ear training, musicality and technique.

When we follow the curiosity of the student, and when learning is joyful, playful and fun,
strong technique and musicianship follow.

Come play with us!
