Private Lessons
SMT offers personalized private lessons in a very wide range of instruments, genres, and traditions, including traditional, folk, rock, blues, pop, jazz, and classical.
We teach students ages 6 and older at all ability levels, whether you are just getting started with an instrument for the first time, or are seeking instruction to reach a higher level of playing
