Getting Started on the Musical Journey

What To Expect When You Join Our Musical Family

From our first conversation to your or your child’s first music lesson, we ensure a smooth start to their musical journey. After working with hundreds of families, children, teens, and adults over the years, we’ve streamlined our process so you or your child can start your first lesson sooner rather than later!

Here’s our simple 4-step process to lock in your music lessons!

Start your First Lesson

1. Choose your Instrument

Have a look at our Music Lessons page, where you’ll find a complete list of instruments and music-related topics we currently offer lessons in for both children and adults.

And if you’re trying to decide for your child, our Studio Director Renee Bordner has a special message (video above) for parents who are also juggling children and activities, and trying to choose the best for their child.

2. Tell us About your Child

Every musician is unique—and the more we know, the better we can create a truly personalized experience.

Tell us about your child so we can match them with the music teacher who will best support their journey.

  • Is this their very first music lesson, or have they explored other instruments before?
  • What are their short-term and long-term musical goals?
  • What type of music do they enjoy listening to?
  • Do they thrive with structure, or prefer a more creative, exploratory approach?

The details you share help us create a thoughtful, customized match—so your child feels confident, inspired, and excited from the very beginning.

3. We Match you with the Perfect Instructor

Finding your and/or your child’s ideal teacher is an art that Renee Bordner, our Studio Director, has refined over fifteen years. She considers everything from your/their learning style and interests to your/their personality and goals.

After carefully evaluating these elements alongside your schedule and location, she selects the teacher she knows will inspire you and/or your child.

Our music teachers excel at creating a positive first experience. We’ll make sure you and/or your child feel both comfortable and accomplished from their very first lesson.

4. Start your First Lesson

What does your first music lesson with Note-worthy Experiences® look like?

  • Your music teacher will arrive at your home early to meet your family and help your child feel comfortable.
  • Together, you’ll create an ideal learning space in your home.
  • The lesson begins with engaging, age-appropriate activities that help your child feel successful right away.
  • By the end of the first lesson, your child will already have learned something they can play – even if they’ve never touched an instrument before. It’s a moment of pride we love to create for every new student.
