Yes โ you'll need your own instrument at home. Lessons build on the practice you do between them, so having one to play every day is required, not optional โ plan to have it before your first lesson. For most instruments it's an easy errand: a local music shop can help you pick a solid beginner instrument, and piano students can start on a basic keyboard. Violin and upright bass students โ just ask, and Scott will point you to the right place to buy or rent.
Most of our students are 10 and up, but Scott teaches a few younger students each week, some as young as 7 or 8. Younger students start the same way everyone does: with a trial lesson.
If it turns out not to be the right time yet, Scott will say so kindly โ often it's just a matter of waiting a bit or getting an instrument set up at home to practice on โ and you're always welcome to circle back when the timing's better.
Lessons are held at Scott's San Luis Obispo studio, or online over video โ whichever works best for you. In-home lessons aren't offered.
Scott will reach out by text (or email if you opted out of texts) to confirm details and schedule your first lesson. Usually within a day or two.
