I have been taking both guitar and vocal lessons with Half Note Music School for just over a year now and I would happily recommend anyone else interested in music lessons do the same. Ive played the guitar on and off for over a decade. Jack - my guitar instructor - quickly learned where my past musical experience placed me and tailored our lessons to my skill level. I have no formal singing experience, and Amy has been wonderful helping me learn how to better use my voice. She has given me several different techniques that are easy to practice in my spare time. I have come a long way with both my instruments and Im very satisfied with these lessons. As is common these days, my lessons were all over Skype and Zoom, but I hear the studio is open now for those that can attend in person.

Half Note offers great guitar instructions, I learned a lot about theory, and how to practice well and consistently. The instructors are very helpful, and often are able to tailor lessons to suit your interests (i.e: Your favourite genres of music).

My son took guitar lessons at the Half Note for two years. The environment is friendly and inviting. The instruction included a strong emphasis on learning to play and read, coupled with solid music theory.

The instructors here are really good and well qualified. I take voice lessons here, and I made way more progress in a few months than I expected. The lesson prices are reasonable, and the student and instructors have lot of freedom regarding scheduling the lessons.They also have these Cook n Jam sessions a couple of times a year, where the students get a chance to perform in front of an audience. I find it really useful and important to grow as a musician.

I HIGHLY recommend Half Note Music School! I applied to Berklee College of Music, a prestigious music school in Boston, not knowing how to read music for guitar at all. Jack and Ira both did an amazing job assessing my strengths and my weaknesses and preparing me for my very demanding audition. I only had a month until my audition, but in that month, I greatly improved my reading skills, my music theory knowledge, and my overall preparedness for my audition (Considering Jack and Ira are both Berklee alumni).I ended up nailing my audition, especially the reading portion of it! Berklee is infamous for not giving out scholarships, but because of how prepared I was for my audition, I earned an amazing scholarship that covered most of my cost of attendance.Overall, Jack and Ira are great teachers and taking lessons at Half Note was comfortable, fun, and not to mention affordable! 5 Stars!
