For younger beginner students aged 4-7, we highly recommend starting with ukulele.

For students aged 7 and above, we offer weekly private and group guitar lessons.

For children under the age of 5, we ask parents to remain nearby for their child’s lesson. Otherwise, you are welcome to drop off your child and return a few minutes before their lesson is done! If you would like to sit in on your child’s music class, we always have an open door policy and you are free to sit in at any time. 

BLE is a Performance School and we have more performance opportunities than any other music studio around. We host monthly open mics in-studio and bigger concerts at the end of the semester.
It’s highly encouraged for the students to attend and show off what they’ve been working on, but it’s never mandatory.

There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn an instrument. With regular practice, a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.

Yes. Even if you don’t have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day, the student will progress. Many parents occasionally sit in on their child’s music lesson to get an idea of the proper way a song should sound or how the student should be positioning their hands. 
Ultimately, our goal is to teach our student’s favorite song so that it doesn’t feel like practicing. Please consult with your teacher if you’re not seeing the progress you expected.
