A ridge full of families and front porches

Phinney is the kind of neighborhood where you know the kids three doors down. Between the zoo, the Phinney Center and the shops on Greenwood Ave, there’s a lot going on. Music lessons shouldn’t mean one more drive. Your teacher comes to you.

Built around how your kid learns

Some kids light up reading a page of music. Most light up playing a song they love. We work across five paths: reading music, improvising, chord charts, ear training and songwriting, and we build each lesson around what clicks. We call it finding your musical fingerprint.

Teachers who play out

Our teachers are working Seattle musicians and multi-instrumentalists. They gig on the weekend and teach during the week, and they can show your kid how music really works, not just how to follow the notes.

If your kid quit lessons before

That’s usually a bad fit, not a lack of talent. The restless kid, the kid who plays by ear, the kid who’d rather write their own song: those are our favorite students.

How it works

1. Tell us where you live and who’s learning.
2. We show you real open times with a teacher near Phinney Ridge.
3. Your first lesson happens at your place.

Questions parents ask

Do you cover Greenwood too?

Yes. Put your address in the form and it’ll show real times from a teacher close by.

Do we need a piano?

Not to start. A basic keyboard works, and your teacher will help you figure out what’s worth buying later.

How young can they start?

As young as 3.

How long are lessons?

30, 45, or 60 minutes, weekly.

We also teach in Green Lake, Ballard and Fremont, or see all of Seattle.
