PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS

Piano Instruction

Creative. Technical. Unstoppable.

At Garden Street Music Lab, piano lessons aren’t one-size-fits-all. We train artists — from curious beginners to advanced players — with a program that’s just as musical as it is methodical.

Starting as young as age 4, students are introduced to piano through a modern approach that builds real skill and fuels a love for music. Lessons combine reading, ear training, technique, improvisation, and your choice of musical styles.

You choose the genre — we build the foundation:
🎼 Classical • Pop • Broadway • Jazz • Film Score • Songwriting & more

Whether you're playing for fun or training for the stage, our piano program gives students the tools to express themselves fully — and the technique to back it up.

 

Guitar- Electric + Acoustic:

Strum hard. Play smart. Get real.

From your first chord to shredding lead riffs, our guitar lessons are designed for players who want to own their instrument. We cover everything from technique and theory to improvisation and song mastery — in any style you want to rock: pop, rock, blues, jazz, or acoustic.

Whether it’s electric or acoustic, our instructors push you to be confident, creative, and technically sharp — so you’re always ready to bring the noise or sit back with a killer solo.

​

Voice:

Find your voice. Own your sound.

Whether you’re stepping up to the mic for the first time or prepping for Broadway, our voice lessons deliver serious skill-building with style. We blend vocal technique, breath control, stage presence, and musicality so you sing with power and confidence — no matter the genre.

Pick your vibe: pop, musical theater, jazz, R&B, or whatever lights your fire. We tailor every lesson to your unique sound and goals, building strength, range, and performance chops you can feel proud of.

​

Drums:

Command the beat. Lead the rhythm.

Ready to be the heartbeat of every jam? Our drum lessons get you locked in with rock-solid technique, rhythm training, and dynamic control across genres — from hip hop to rock, jazz to funk.

We focus on developing timing, independence, and stage presence so you not only keep the beat but lead the band. Whether you’re just starting or already blazing trails, we’ll help you smash every set.

​

Songwriting:

Write what hits. Say what matters.

Our songwriting program is built for creators — the ones who feel something and need to turn it into music. Whether you’re a vocalist, pianist, guitarist, or beat-maker, our instructors will help you shape ideas into songs that connect.

You’ll learn how to:

• Craft killer melodies & hooks

• Write lyrics that actually say something

• Build chord progressions that feel right

• Structure songs for performance or recording

• Use music theory to elevate your writing (without killing your vibe)

From acoustic ballads to punchy pop to theatrical storytelling, we meet you where your sound lives — and help you grow it into something undeniable.

Whether you're writing your first song or building your first album, this is where the real work — and the real magic — starts.

s will be recorded professionally in our state of the art recording studio.
