What to Expect When You Begin At-Home Music Lessons with our Cambridge-based Company
Welcome! We are so excited to have you!
Music lessons can feel a little intimidating, especially if it’s your first time meeting with a professional teacher. Here’s what you can expect when you enroll in at-home music lessons with Haven.
You’ve already been scheduled with a Boston-area instructor who matches your learning experience and style preferences. They’ve reached out via email to let you know which materials you need before the first lesson. You’ve purchased those and are ready to go!
At the time of your scheduled lesson, your instructor will come to your home. We have instructors all around the Greater Boston area that are willing to sit in traffic so you don’t have to! Make sure you’re home and ready to learn at the time of your lesson. It’s best to have a calm, quiet environment for the lesson to take place. You should have your instrument and all other recommended materials in one spot.
After an introduction, your teacher will begin your first lesson! Depending on your experience level, this might be some very basic introduction to music theory or your instrument. Your instructor might even play for you! If you’re more advanced, your instructor might ask to hear you play so they can get a better feel for your skills. You and your instructor will work together to set goals and make plans for your musical journey.
You’ve reached the end of your first lesson! Your instructor will give you some direction for practicing your instrument during the next week. You’ll practice and do it all over again next week.
It’s worth noting that some weeks, lessons will be cancelled due to widely celebrated holidays and school vacations. These dates will be communicated to you at the beginning of each month in our monthly newsletter. Some weeks, a recital or local community performance opportunity might take the place of your regularly scheduled lesson. If you have any questions about scheduling or what to expect with your first at-home music lesson, please feel free to reach out via email at jacqueline@havenmusiclessons.com or via text/call to (508)203-1263. We’re so excited to watch your music learning journey unfold with Haven Music Lessons!
