Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I have one or two trial lessons?

A: While we enroll students for the remaining lessons within the current semester, we do offer a three-week trial period to ensure a good placement for prospective students. If after the third lesson, and before the fourth, you need to make any changes to your registration, give us a call and we can work to make any adjustments necessary or refund you for the remaining lessons within the semester.

This period of time allows both the student and the teacher to get a feel for the learning dynamic. We at ANMS feel that having only one or two trial lesson is too short of a time to make an informed decision.

We believe that a period of three weeks allows for the student to become immersed both in their lessons and within the school setting, and allows time for the instructor to create a curriculum designed around the specific needs and goals of the student.

You can enjoy having the flexibility to decide within the first three lessons. Let us know before the fourth lesson if you wish to withdraw, and ANMS will issue a refund for the remainder of the semester.

Q: Do your teachers come to our homes?

A: No, all of our lessons take place within the school as we have feel that it’s the most conducive environment for students to be successful on their musical journey!

Q: What if I miss a lesson?

A: If a lesson is missed, all students are guaranteed one ‘for-any-reason’ private lesson makeup per semester, which is already built into the Academic Calendar. In the event of instructor cancellation, students are guaranteed a makeup session for private lessons and classes, or a refund at the end of the semester/academic year. Makeup lessons are not provided for students missing group classes.

Q: Do you offer a senior discount?

A: Yes! We offer a discounted lesson rate of 10% off as a part of our a life-long learner program, which is available to our students age 65 and above for private lesson instruction only.

Q: How do I rent an instrument?

A: We recommend renting from the two organizations listed below; renting a quality string, woodwind, brass, or piano instrument for private lessons is easy, affordable, and will kickstart your child's musical journey!
