How to Sign Up for Lessons. . .
The easiest way to schedule lessons is to email our lesson coordinator by clicking here or by calling the House of Music at 612-929-2291. Office hours are somewhat irregular so please leave a message (roughly) 10:00AM - 3:00PM Monday through Friday. If noone is available to speak with you, PLEASE LEAVE A DETAILED MESSAGE with your name, number and a good time to call you back. We are not able to have a full time person on staff to answer phones so email is sometimes the easiest way to get us the information we need to get students enrolled.
Please email your name (first and last), the student's info (name, age, instrument, availability, and any musical history they might have), a phone number and good time to reach you. - click here to email our lesson coordinator
Please let us know the instrument you are interested in playing, the day/s and time/s that you are available for lessons.
We do our best to match the teacher whose schedule and style fit you and your musical dreams.
Take a look at our "TEACHERS" page to learn more about prospective teachers.
What are the costs . . .
The cost for each lesson is $30 per half hour (Suzuki violin method is an additional charge). Longer lessons are also available.
We schedule by the seasonal quarterly semesters. Our Fall 2016 Semester begins August 29 and goes through December 17 (no lessons the week of Thanksgiving, except for Monday students) and the Winter 2016 Semester begins January 3 and goes through April 1. The total cost of the lessons for the semester (quarter) will depend on which day of the week your regular lesson is scheduled since certain holidays fall on specific days of the week. The total number of lessons will be between 9 -15 weeks, depending on the semester. When students sign up for lessons at the beginning of a semester, we ask that students commit to an entire semester. If you are a new or returning students that missed the beginning of the semester, you can start at any time and only pay for the remaining weeks of the semester.
Lessons are paid for in advance for the entire semester (or remainder) at the first lesson. If this presents a hardship for your budget, talk to the director, and/or teacher about an alternative payment arrangement.
You can start lessons anytime after the semester begins and we will pro-rate the cost.
Why Choose the House of Music?
Our staff is made up of a variety of professional musicians/teachers, some of the best talent in town! Each teacher brings something a little different to the experience. We promise to listen to your musical hopes and dreams and match you with the teacher that best suits you and your goals. We don’t claim to be the fanciest music school in town…but the friendliest…with knowledgable teachers that inspire and encourage you on your musical journey. As we grow, we strive to stay personal, flexible and keep the interests of our students at the top of our list.
You might say we are the “front porch” kind of school that brings people together...through
music!
It is our goal to provide students and families the opportunities to experience music either as a performer or fan of music. We have two recitals seasons per year. One towards the end fo the Fall Semester and one towards the end of the Spring Semester. We also provide music for a variety of events that occur in our community, therefor providing many opportunities for students to perform.
Even if you never become a student, we hope you'll be a part of our community!
Music is a wonderful thing to have in your life. We'll help you get started or get you learning new things again.
