Lets Talk Lessons at CFM

What age do you recommend starting lessons?

We recommend starting piano lessons at age 4, as younger children typically have the fine motor skills needed to begin playing. Voice lessons are best for children ages 9 and up, when vocal cords are more developed. For most other private instrument lessons, age 8 is a great starting point.

Looking to start even earlier? We welcome little ones as young as 2 weeks old in our Kindermusik program—a playful, research-based music and movement class that builds a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

And if you don’t see your instrument listed, just ask—we’re always adding new teachers and instruments!

Yes—having an instrument at home is essential for consistent practice and progress. We recommend students aim to practice about 30 minutes a day, if possible.

If you don’t currently have an instrument, we’ve got you covered! We sell instruments in-store and offer a convenient rent-to-own program for keyboards, guitars, and most orchestral instruments. We’ll help you find the right fit for your student and your budget.

Our lessons are $25 per half-hour, with no registration fees and no pre-pay contracts required. We highly recommend weekly lessons for steady progress, but we also understand that every family is different—bi-weekly lessons are available if that better suits your schedule.

To keep students inspired and engaged, we offer:

  • Two annual recitals

  • Festival performances

  • Student of the Month awards

  • Showcases and special events

We believe celebrating milestones and giving students the chance to perform builds confidence, excitement, and a lifelong love of music!

Yes! Parents are always welcome to sit in on lessons—especially for younger students. We believe open communication is key, and our instructors are happy to provide regular progress updates and suggestions for at-home practice. We’re here to support your child’s musical journey every step of the way!
