FAQ
We welcome students of all ages and experience levels — from beginners to advanced musicians. Lessons are open to children, teens, and adults.
We currently offer instruction in piano, guitar, classical guitar, trumpet, saxophone, flute, and musicianship — a flexible, student-driven course focusing on music theory, ear training, and creative skills. Our offerings will continue to grow. Don't see your instrument? Reach out — we may be able to add it to our curriculum.
Musicianship is a flexible, student-driven course where you can focus on the skills behind the music. This can include ear training, music theory, sight-reading, improvisation, composition, and more — customized to what you want to work on.
Lessons are offered in-home throughout the Austin area, with instructors traveling to students for individualized, one-on-one instruction. Online lessons are also available when appropriate.
We offer two standard lesson lengths: 50 minutes and 30 minutes. 50-minute lessons are the standard format for most students. 30-minute lessons are offered selectively by placement, typically for younger beginners or specific instructional needs. We'll help determine the best option based on age, experience, and goals.
Standard lessons are $75 for a 50-minute lesson, billed monthly. Lesson length and placement are determined based on age, experience, and goals. For current availability and placement, contact us at hello@nbrhdschool.com.
