Can I learn a new instrument without having musical talent?

Absolutely! Improvement hinges on one crucial factor - consistency. Practicing every day is the key. Consistency is the key to improvement. While talent helps beginners, every musician faces challenges and must practice consistently to progress.

I'm 34 years old.  Is it too late to start learning music? 

Learning an instrument as an adult may come with challenges, with time management being a significant factor. While it can be more challenging to find time for regular lessons and practice, it's certainly not impossible. We recommend carving out dedicated time for your musical pursuits and making music a priority in your schedule.

play music?

At the first lesson, we encourage each student to share a song they'd like to learn. We understand that everyone learns at their own unique pace, influenced by factors such as their schedule, focus, and individual talent. Our approach is tailored to accommodate these differences and provide a personalized learning experience for each student.
