Our teachers meet each student where they are — blending solid technique with musical curiosity, confidence-building, and real skill development over time.
Magnolia’s private lesson schedule is currently full for the spring semester.

Tuition adjustments if a shared match is created
Students enroll and reserve a weekly lesson time through our system at the private lesson rate. If we’re able to confirm a shared lesson partner and convert the lesson to a shared format, we’ll adjust tuition going forward so future payments reflect the shared rate.
We’ll always confirm the schedule and the rate before making any change.
