We are always willing and available to hear your feedback. Please feel free to contact us about any questions you may have. Commitment - In order to get the most out of your music training experience, we have found that giving us a 90 day trial to give yourself enough time to evaluate your progress is best. Parents of beginning students are encouraged to support them by helping them during their practice for the first three months while they learn to develop good practice habits. Time - In order to value your time and ours, we will do our best to make sure that your lessons start and end on time.

Our vision is to bring musical skill and talent to each personalized lesson. Our focus is student-centered learning in an atmosphere conducive to musical growth, understanding, and progress at the level desired by the student. We strive to place each student with the teacher that best suits their individual learning style and personality. Do you want to get more out of your weekly lessons? Are you tired of doing music on your own and want to jam with other like-minded musicians? If you are, then sign up for one of our group or band classes!

Our guitar teachers teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical guitar lessons on acoustic guitars. Beginner students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. We balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always end with something fun such as your favorite riff or song. We use a variety of guitar method books to accomplish this and encourage students to bring CDs or their iPod to their lesson to learn their favorite tunes.

Our piano teachers teach a variety of styles from classical to popular music. Whether you want to learn Bach or Alicia Keys, our teachers are happy to help you become the pianist you want to be. Our piano faculty will show you the fundamentals of sight reading, technique and theory, but they will also incorporate your favorite songs into your lessons. You do not have to have a piano at home to take lessons. A simple full size electronic keyboard will suffice for the first 6 months. Our piano teachers have warm personalities and enjoy sharing their love for the piano with you.

Our voice teachers primarily focus on popular music but are able to teach classical as well. If you have always wanted to be a better rock, pop, country, jazz, gospel or R&B singer, then we have the right voice teachers for you. Voice students spend time each week doing physical exercises to improve their vocal range, ear training, breath control, vibrato, tone production, enunciation and more. All voice students set goals with their teacher to work on sounding like their favorite recording artists, or if they prefer, to develop their own unique voice.

That question is often asked by prospective students. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach. A seven year old having their first guitar lesson will have very different needs than a fifty seven year old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child. The main reason to choose A Dawn Of Music Studios as your music lesson provider, is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual.
