8. Biannual recitals
Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand if their investment in lessons is really worth it is to have their child participate in a recital. In May and December, many of our students choose to perform in our biannual recitals. With novel COVID-19, we have opted to have these recitals be virtual! This is a great opportunity for students to feel comfortable performing, as well as to showcase everyone's unique talent in a safe way.

Our studios are just north of Alameda Boulevard a block from Balloon Fiesta Park, conveniently close to students in Rio Rancho and Albuquerque's westside.

We're easy to find, with shopping and restaurants nearby. Please note that our offices are closed currently due to COVID-19, and that when we reopen, we will not allow visitors without an appointment.
10. Month to month lessons!
Our desire is to inspire our students with the love of music. We do this through teachers and music that our students love. Unlike other programs, we do not require semester minimums for lessons. You can begin anytime! To stop lessons, we just need 30 days' notice.
