What We Do
Our private lesson program offers personalized, one-on-one instruction for music lovers of all ages and skill levels. From your very first note on a brand-new instrument to elevating your skills to the next level, our team of expert instructors is here to help.
Weekly lessons tend to be the best educational experience for most learners. They provide the regularity you need to keep your skills moving forward, while keeping things fun and approachable. We offer 30 and 60 minute weekly lessons, booked on a recurring monthly basis. Want to take a single lesson? We are happy to work with your schedule.
WHERE WE'RE GOING
GROUP CLASSES
Group classes are perfect for adult students (16 and up) who want to engage with music in a fun and social environment. Classes run as a series of 4 to 6 weekly, 1-hour sessions that focus on a particular area of interest. Examples include: Ukulele for Beginners, Basic Blues Guitar, Songwriting 101, and more. If you are a beginning to intermediate student and would like to learn while meeting fellow music lovers, our classes are a great fit.
WORKSHOPS
Workshops are single 2 - 3-hour programs that provide an in-depth look at a particular topic. They are a great avenue to explore more advanced content with an expert instructor and meet fellow students with similar interests. Workshops can include subjects like Introduction to Nashville Number Charts, Essentials of Jazz Improvisation, and much more. We update our programs regularly, so keep an eye on our website and social media for what's coming up next.
PERFORMANCES
We think music is like great BBQ or Queso — best when shared. That's why we provide regular opportunities for our students to perform throughout the year. In addition to traditional recitals, we host open mic style student events at venues across Austin. We want to provide fun and relevant ways to engage with music performance — so invite your friends and get on stage with Strait School of Music!
