How often do most students come for lessons?
The best way to learn is to get on a regular lesson schedule. All students at Starfish Studios sign up for a weekly time slot and come for an hour lesson once a week. For younger students, the weekly half-hour lessons are available and often work best.

Do I need to own an instrument before I start taking lessons?
Students do not need to own an instrument to start learning, although after a few weeks of lessons they will need to get an instrument to practice with if they are going to advance in a timely manner. Drum students, however, can get by with just a practice pad for several months before needing to purchase a drum set.

What is your cancellation policy?
As long as you call the studio to cancel at least 24-hours before the scheduled timeslot, you will not be charged for a missed lesson.

|
Is my child too young to start music lessons?
Each child is unique and students as young as 3 years old have enjoyed and learned from the private lessons. The main focus at Starfish Studios is for learning to be fun so students will build a long-lasting relationship with making music. The earlier students get exposed to a positive musical influence, the better. A trial period of four half-hour lessons is usually a good way to start with students under six-years old.
