Music Lessons Where Practice Feels Like Play

As a dad of two young musicians, I know how important it is for lessons to feel like fun — not just another after-school chore.


At Rhythm & Strings Music, we’ve built a program that keeps kids engaged, excited, and motivated to practice all on their own.


Whether they’re just starting out or switching from another studio, we’ll meet them where they’re at — and help them fall in love with music.

Instruments we teach:

Learn to play the drums by learning grooves from your favorite songs. From your first lesson, you'll play recognizable music while building proper technique and fundamentals. Acoustic or electric. Ages 7 - 18. All skill levels welcome.

Learn guitar by playing the songs you love, right from your own playlist. From your first lesson, you'll play recognizable music while building proper technique. Acoustic or electric. Ages 7 - 18. All skill levels welcome.

Not sure which instrument is right for you?
