I have been taking adult acoustic guitar lessons, at Sunburst School of music, for about 5 years. You can feel the vibes of this music school, as soon as you walk through the door! Lots of energy, fun, learning and, of course, all kinds of music! My instructors have been so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient. With their help and lots of practice, I have become a guitar player! I would highly recommend Sunburst School of Music, to anyone of any age, who is thinking of beginning their own adventure into learning a musical instrument!

My children participate in multiple lessons and rock bands at Sun Burst. We have been consistently impressed by the quality of the teachers. They truly care about the kids and want to see them grow. It has changed the dynamics in our house in such a positive way I cannot speak highly enough about this program

I've been taking lessons at Sunburst for over 4 years and could not express how much I enjoy being a student and community member there. The lessons have expanded my guitar playing beyond what I ever expected, so much that I even decided to add singing to the mix. The teachers are supportive, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend Sunburst School of Music.

I have worked with Sunburst for several years, and have found the instructors to be nothing but encouraging. When my previous instructor had to give up private teaching, I was provided an excellent replacement option. My guitar playing as an adult has improved, and in addition, my understanding of music as a whole.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We do weekly lessons that are priced by the month rather than by the lesson. Most months have 4 lessons but its the same price when there are 5. Here are our rates: Weekly 30 minute lessons - $135 per month Weekly 45 minute lessons - $188 per month Weekly 60 minute lessons - $240 per month
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For all new students we begin with a conversation about music to help our instructors get to know our student's taste, goals and prior experience. Our first lessons are about helping our students develop short term and long term goals for their playing and creating a practice routine and a lessons plan to get there. We also work in bits and pieces of the music that our student loves right from the very beginning to try to get them some of those small victories that are so important for sticking with it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our instructors all have either university training or years of performance experience on their instrument and draw on this knowledge in all their lessons. Our school has been around since 2011 and we take pride in the selection and training of instructors who are friendly, patient and professional.
