Between the lake and 45th

Wallingford runs from the kite hill at Gas Works up to the shops on 45th, and it’s packed with families the whole way. It’s also wedged between I-5 and Aurora, which is great for getting places and terrible at 5 p.m. So your teacher comes to you instead.

Lessons that sound like your kid

Most lessons start with a method book. We start with the kid. We work across five paths: reading music, improvising, chord charts, ear training and songwriting. Your teacher figures out which ones light your kid up and builds from there. We call it finding your musical fingerprint.

Real musicians, real songs

Our teachers are working Seattle musicians and multi-instrumentalists. Your kid picks the music, and their teacher uses it to teach rhythm, chords, reading and ear, all at once.

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 Wallingford.
3. Your first lesson happens at your place.

Questions parents ask

We have two kids. Can they go back to back?

Yes. Pick back-to-back times in the booking form and the teacher stays for both.

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 Fremont, Green Lake and Ravenna, or see all of Seattle.
