How it works

We will work with you to determine an available time slot and schedule a trial lesson with the teacher of your choice. This is to ensure the student is comfortable with the teacher and that the teacher can meet their needs and musical goals.

Lessons can be in-person or virtual. There is no cost to schedule a trial lesson and no obligation to continue lessons.

Complete your trial lesson and reserve your lesson time slot.

After the trial lesson, we will hold that same time slot for seven days to allow you to confirm and submit the required lesson contract paperwork to continue lessons.

Begin your private lessons at Shaun’s String Studio!

Once confirmed, the lesson schedule and billing invoice email will be sent. Lessons continue according to the schedule and are billed monthly.

Cancellation of private lessons can be requested in writing with a 2-week notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of music will I learn?

All styles and all genres! We LOVE music and we want you to LOVE music too — we are not restricted to one single pedagogical approach. Lessons are catered to the individual students’ interest and goals. There are as many pathways to learning an instrument and to virtuosity as there are students who walk through our doors.

Our musical fundamentals are rooted in the traditional classical repertoire. We specialize in jazz, the American songbook, and everything else in between!

How often will I have a lesson?

Private lessons occur once a week. We offer 30-minute and 60-minute sessions.

Do you rent or sell instruments?

Shaun’s String Studio is solely a private music instruction studio. We do not rent or sell musical instruments, however, we can point you in the right direction. Please do not hesitate to ask!

Do you do virtual lessons?

Yes!

What is your covid-19 cleaning policy?

Our studio space is large enough to abide by the CDC’s social distancing guidelines and recommendations. Our restroom facilities (single use), studio space, and entire building is cleaned and sanitized daily.

Shaun has taught our children for 5 years on bass, cello, and guitar. His consistent positive supportive demeanor has kept our children motivated — especially helpful during the covid and online education era.
