What are the benefits of music lessons?
Music lessons light up the brain! Learning a musical instrument strengthens neural connections and engages several areas of the brain at once. Learning to play can improve memory, attention and problem solving, and can help verbal and math skills, just to mention a few. Music lessons are brain workouts.
★★★★★Ms Lee is kind, patient and personable, and very knowledgeable. I had immediate results at my very first evaluation lesson where I learned how to breathe efficiently and use my diaphragm properly. I had instant results in reaching my higher range notes on pitch and with power. I signed on to continue lessons to improve and I can hear the difference. Working with Ms Lee has improved my confidence in singing in front of others. I recommend her to anyone seeking a caring and professional vocal teacher. She is also helpful in choosing songs that best suit my voice and style. I feel I have found my voice and couldn't be happier.

Questions parents and students ask
Is my child ready for music lessons?
A musical child who shows interest in playing an instrument at an early age may be ready to start lessons as young as 5 years old. Give us a call to schedule a free trial lesson (piano/keyboard and guitar/ukulele).
Am I too old to learn music?
We work with adult students who either start from scratch, or who have had lessons in the past and want to start again! We also help adults (and teens) with songwriting, who may have a dream of recording music or a lifelong desire to perform, sing and play. Yep, we can help make dreams come true!
What about singing and vocal lessons?
We've had children as young as 5 and adults in their 80s taking singing lessons with us. As an accredited Voiceworks™ school we help singers learn the basic techniques to find their voices, reach those high and difficult “break” notes without the voice cracking, have an edge for auditions, gain confidence, and sing (or record!) favorite songs for fun and satisfaction. Plus, gain experience performing at our twice-yearly concerts/recitals.
New vocal students can start with a single vocal evaluation lesson, and our 6-lesson package gets vocal students started.

What about special needs?
At DenLee Music School we warmly welcome students with special needs, including those with autism, ADHD and more, because music lessons truly light up their brains and can help improve focus, attention, social skills and cognitive function. Our patient, experienced instructors love crafting personalized lessons that meet every student exactly where they are.
Because this highly individualized support needs extra time, customized resources and specialized teaching methods, tuition for students with special needs is higher than our standard rates (see tuition). Call or send a note to schedule a parent-teacher-student meeting and trial lesson.
What is needed for music lessons?
Piano lessons: you need a piano or keyboard at home (preferably a full-size 88-key instrument). We can help you find a keyboard that works for you and your budget. Students buy their own lesson books.
Guitar or ukulele lessons: you need an acoustic guitar or a ukulele. Our instructor helps students find the best instrument for their size (children), playing ability and budget. Students buy any music books used.
Vocal lessons: the singer's voice is the instrument. Bring a phone or iPad to lessons to record vocal exercises and songs (audio and/or video) for practice at home. Students may need to buy sheet music.
What about practicing?
Learning an instrument takes patience, practice, discipline, plus more practice (and patience!). It does not usually offer instant gratification, though it can, especially in young children. The more you practice, the faster you advance. The same goes for singing lessons, though results can show right away when techniques are used properly.
For school-age students, parents are encouraged to help set practice times (incentives and rewards are good!). Daily practice, or at least 3–5 sessions a week, is recommended. If there was little or no practice the week before, the lesson will review and practice last week's music. Not practicing is not a reason to skip a lesson!
What commitment is needed?
We ask for a minimum 3-month commitment (at our reduced lesson rates) for piano and guitar lessons. Lessons are scheduled the same day and time each week, for 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
Realistically it takes most students about 3 years to reach a higher level of playing. Much depends on natural ability, but everything depends on practice.
