Programs Tailor Made for All Needs
Introduction To Our Program
Our approach to learning how to play music is far different than lessons offered at a typical music store. We believe that learning should be fun and rewarding for both the student and their family. We specialize in having beginners learn their instrument faster with proven teaching methods from an experienced staff.
Once you have learned the basics, we offer several opportunities throughout the year for students to perform. These performances are included as part of your tuition. When both the student and teacher feel they are ready to play in front of others, the student is invited to join us at one of our intimate recitals in the ShamRock Studio which holds up to 40 guests. More advanced students will have opportunities to perform at various open mic's in the area that are sponsored by ShamRock.
We have also had great success with intermediate and advanced musicians. We have prepared students for auditions for music schools such as Berklee College of Music & Stevens Institute of Technology. We have successfully prepared students for musical auditions. We will customize your lessons to suit your goals.
All ages are welcome! Our experienced staff has taught ages from 92 years young to 5 years old!
All skill levels are welcome.
