Students and Parents Love Musikey
My son started piano kind of late (13yo) and we were concerned that he'd get bored or that the instruction might be geared more for the little kids, but couldn't have been more wrong. Our son has made amazing progress, practices without any prompting, and looks forward to lessons. I truly don't think he'd have had the experience he has without Sally being involved. His present instructor, John, really challenges him, and holds him accountable for practice and progress, something I wish more coaches and educators did.

We have Mrs. Margie as our piano teacher through Sally for our 8 year old son, and we couldn't be happier. She is a dedicated teacher and out son has improved so much under her tutelage. We have also participated in recitals arranged by Sally and they were great experiences. We are thankful that Sally has teachers like Mrs. Margie working for her, and we are also happy that she is very flexible and responsive to our needs and demands. Highly recommended to anyone with children who wants to start music lessons!

A guitar teacher can provide guidance to those just starting out who need support to find their musical footing, as well as expanded knowledge for advanced guitar players who want to keep getting better. Guitar lessons help build teamwork, listening, presentation skills, understanding of guitar techniques, and collaboration skills through performances with other musicians.
Guitar playing is an activity that encourages creative risk-taking, something we’re passionate about at Musikey! Taking guitar lessons is one of the best and most accessible ways to make sure students have access to the incredible benefits that learning a musical instrument can offer.
From Classical Guitar to Electric Guitar
Musikey isn’t in the business of forcing students down a “traditional” path of music instruction. The history of the guitar is rich with a wide range of genres, playing styles, and even variations on the instrument itself.
Some students will be passionate about classical guitar playing, exploring traditional acoustic guitar-based genres such as flamenco. Others will be thrilled by the powerful impact of an electric guitar, hoping to harness the power of rock genres in their own playing.
At Musikey, our goal is to take each unique spark of passion and ignite a flame of lifelong musical learning. With that in mind, we work with each student to discover what excites them most about the guitar and integrate that excitement into their lessons with an instructor.
Whether a student loves Segovia or Hendrix, we’ll embrace that love and let it inform their learning journey.
