Experience the Joy of Music at Ipswich River Music Academy
Group Lessons
Our group lessons are a fun and social way to learn music. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced student, our group lessons provide a supportive and collaborative environment to learn and grow your musical skills. Group lessons are also a bit more affordable and give you a chance to get comfortable with your instrument before starting a one on one teaching session.
One on One Lessons With a Member of Our Faculty
This option matches you with the appropriate teacher to accommodate your choice of instrument and your level of familiarity with it. We will tailor each lesson to fit the needs, wants and goals of each student while offering the musical knowledge needed to grow as a musician. More importantly, you will be able to perform your favorite songs for your friends and family and take this new gift to places that you had previously only imagined. Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate player looking to take things to the next level, we are here for you!
Rock Band
Many of our students want to take the songs that they have learned and/or written and surround themselves with other musicians that can bring those songs to life in a very real way. This experience can really light a fire under the feet of each student and bring the realization that all of their passion and hard work has finally come to fruition. One of our faculty members will guide the band through their practice sessions, offer constructive advice, provide the microphones, amplifiers and sound equipment and help the members put together a handful of songs that can be performed at a future gathering.
Pricing:
Group Lessons: are subject to interest and availability. Five students per class is normally an ideal situation but sometimes classes will grow to seven or eight.
Group Lessons last for 30 minutes at a price of $40 per session.
One on One: these lessons are our most popular option and provide the most personalized experience for the student. Weekly and bi-weekly lessons are traditionally the most effective way to progress and provide the student with enough practice time between sessions.
One on One lessons are $50 for 30 minutes.
Rock Band: this option is subject to interest and availability and is a specialized service that we will offer a 3-4 times per year. Each band practice session lasts for one hour and occurs once per week. Generally, four to five students of interest will sign up for a 4-8 week program (depending on the availability of each student) and we will build a small list of songs that can be performed at a later date. The venue of said performance will depend on many factors and is not guaranteed.
Rock Band pricing is $40 per band member for each one hour session.
