"My child has taken lessons from 3 different music schools in Brooklyn and Park Slope Music Lessons is the best! My child plays multiple instruments and his teacher, Matt, has been amazing teaching him"

Caroline Lee

"My daughter has never sought to play music professionally, so her continued commitment to her weekly lessons for 12+ years (even with her busy high school schedule), is a testament to how much she truly enjoys being part of the Park Slope Music Lessons family!"

STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Which instrument should my child learn first?

We generally recommend that children under the age of 8 start with at least 6 months of piano/keyboard. Not only is creating sound on a keyboard far simpler than it is on other instruments, it's linear and intuitive layout allows for quickly building a foundational understanding of music theory. This makes transferring to other instruments much quicker and more enjoyable.

Question 2: What instruments do you teach?

PIANO , VOICE , GUITAR , BASS , UKULELE , FLUTE , SAXOPHONE , CLARINET , TRUMPET , TROMBONE , FLUGELHORN , DRUMS/PERCUSSION , SONGWRITING and more.

Question 3: What is the cost of music lessons?

Our special trial lesson package includes two 30-minute trial lessons spaced a week apart at $185 - books and materials are included. After that, we prorate our annual tuition, which is $3240 for 32 lessons and 2 recital opportunities. There is a monthly payment plan available. The semester runs September 8th, 2025 - June 26th, 2026, and mostly follows the NYC Public School holiday schedule with a few additions. Special discounts are available, which we'll discuss on a free consultation call. You can book a call here.

See details on our parents' information page, Pontus Palace.

Question 4: What age is best to start music lessons?

We accept students 4+ years in age - on some occasions, as young as 3 1/2. We ask that all new students be capable of the following:

1. Can your child write their name legibly?

2. Can your child count to 10?

3. Can your child sit and focus on one activity for at least 5 minutes?

4. Are your child's fine motor skills developed enough to play a key with each of their 5 fingers?

Question 5: Where are you located?

We do not have a brick and mortar location. We send amazing teachers to your home in Park Slope and surrounding neighborhoods.

Question 6: Do you have recitals?

We hold 2 recitals every year at the PS 321 Lower School Auditorium on President Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in Park Slope. This year, our recitals will take place on January 24th, 2026, and June 6th, 2026.

Question 7:What if we miss a lesson?

Each student is allowed 2 makeup credits per semester. We ask that parents communicate directly with their teacher to reschedule any missed lessons. There are no refunds for missed lessons.

Question 8:Do you offer remote online video lessons?

Yes. All of our teachers are able to provide excellent instruction via Zoom no matter where you are located.

Question 9:Do you offer group or sibling discounts?

Yes - we will discuss any potential discounts in your consultation call.

Question 10:Do you accept special needs students?

Yes. Because of our adaptive and inclusive curriculum, the Musicolor Method, we have been able to successfully work with many children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyslexia, and slow learners. Learn more here.

Question 11:Do you teach adults?

Yes, we teach students of all ages!

Question 12:Do you also teach traditional note reading?

Absolutely - it is the goal of the Musicolor Method to teach your child traditional notation in the best way possible. The Musicolor Method serves as educational scaffolding. It builds instant excitement, enthusiasm and confidence to keep going when things get more complicated. Learning to read music does not happen overnight, and the Musicolor Method works to keep a child motivated on that journey.

Question 13:Do you have an early childhood music class for toddlers?

Yes we do - our Penguin Pals class is exactly that. Learn more and sign up here.

Question 14:Do you offer any scholarships or financial aid?

Yes. Our music program helps young people activate life skills through music. We would like to make it as accessible as possible, and have limited scholarships available each year for partially subsidized lessons. Please apply here.
