Many lessons teach you how to sound like someone else. Here, you’ll learn how to find your own sound. You’ll learn how melody, harmony, and rhythm connect, and how to compose, improvise, arrange, and play with real understanding.

Guitar and piano are the best instruments for fully understanding music because they let you experience melody, harmony, and rhythm at the same time.



Private lessons are available at Bongos and Bud’s Music in downtown Hopkins, in your home throughout the surrounding area, or live online wherever you have internet access.

Coming soon: a new book on understanding how music really works.
