We teach students of all ages, including children. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to submit personal information through this Site. If you are inquiring about lessons for a child, the contact form should be completed by a parent or legal guardian.

When you submit the contact form, you are asking us to get in touch, and we will respond by email or phone about lessons. We may occasionally follow up about your inquiry or send studio updates. You can ask us to stop contacting you at any time by replying to any email or calling us, and we will honor that request.
