Frequently Asked Questions:

How many lessons before I play well?

Because each student is unique, it is impossible to answer such a question. Basically, the more a student practices with dedication, the sooner the student can reach a satisfactory level of performance, and age is an important factor as well. Patience with young children is a necessity. It is not uncommon for a student to play quite well after a year of lessons, but keep in mind that learning of a musical instrument never ends!

Our rates are very affordable, starting at ONLY $39.00 per half hour lesson! We also offer hour-long lessons at $69.00 per lesson. Instrument rentals are available with an introductory discount for all of our students. Lessons take place once a week and are payable by the month through autopay.

Everyone knows music is fun, but not all know that music making has benefits, such as:

Increases in self esteem and confidence, which fights mental health conditions such as depression
Strengthens the auditory cortex, the part of the brain which controls hearing, and may combat hearing loss in old age
Has been shown to reduce stress and can be used as a form of anger management
It is uplifting spiritually, and it can increase positive feelings
Playing an instrument encourages creativity and evokes emotions
It promotes greater finger dexterity
Playing music together promotes bonding. Music-making creates a sense of togetherness and it helps form new social connections
It has repeatedly shown benefits for Alzheimer’s patients in scientific tests and it strengthens the mind resulting in better memory and speed with processing tasks.

You’re never too old to take music lessons. Music can be learned at any age, and studies show that making music is a life-long skill that enriches the lives of children and adults!

Recitals at JC Music

JC Music offers our students performance opportunities through our Student Showcase Recitals. Each spring we hold a Student Showcase. In addition, each October we have our annual ”Spooktacular Student Showcase”, which is filled with all spooky music and everyone in costume.

Because performing is so integral to learning music, taking music lessons and never giving students a chance to showcase what they have learned is like becoming a chef and never having an opportunity to cook for anyone! Surprisingly, most music stores don’t give their students these performance opportunities to shine and show how much they have progressed in their lessons. We look forward to seeing all of our students perform in recitals, as this is a lifelong benefit from the program we provide.

Our team of quality instructors have devised many innovative performances throughout our history. As a result, we have had a variety of multi-instrument group performances, sibling duets, and even a percussion ensemble! In addition to a variety of types of performances, our instructors have also created themes for the recitals, including: classical music, TV themes, Broadway, 80’s favorites, and much more! The instructors at JC Music are committed to making music fun! Learn more about our team of quality instructors here!
