While we have programs for every age, private lessons are for ages 5 through adult. They are designed to help families experience what playing piano or violin looks like at Tuned Hearts is like. For beginners, we introduce foundational concepts in a fun and encouraging environment. For experienced students, we may ask them to demonstrate what they already know and provide activities tailored to their current level. We also ask students what kinds of music they enjoy so we can personalize instruction around their interests and goals.

No. Students are welcome to use one of our violins or pianos during the trial lesson. We can also help families explore affordable options for purchasing or renting an instrument without requiring a large upfront investment.

Violin and piano lessons take place at our in-home studio located at: 875 E. Southgate Dr. Shelby, NC Our studio includes two dedicated teaching spaces — one located inside the home and another in a detached teaching studio.

Families provide their general availability during enrollment, and we do our best to place students in lesson times that fit their schedule. Lesson times are assigned based on teacher availability and scheduling compatibility.

We do not offer traditional make-up lessons. However, we provide additional support through free practice labs where students can receive accountability, feedback, and guidance on their lesson assignments. We also offer virtual lessons when students are unable to attend in person due to illness or travel.

Tuition is billed monthly and reserves your weekly time slot for the academic calendar. Additional information regarding tuition, policies, and studio expectations can be found on our Studio Policy page.
