Private Music Lessons
Piano and Keyboard Lessons
At CEG, we offer piano lessons for students of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced players. Our classes cover various styles, including classical, jazz, pop, and more. Whether you're learning for fun or aspiring to join our performance company, we tailor lessons to suit your interests, age, and ability. We begin piano lessons as early as age 5, with all classes offered privately. Sessions are available in 30-minute or 1-hour durations. For advanced students, we have highly qualified instructors with master's degrees in piano, ready to guide students in preparing for university-level studies.
Guitar & Bass Lessons
Our private lessons cater to acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, offering a diverse curriculum from rock to jazz, classical to pop, and even Spanish guitar. Our team of experienced instructors, many of whom actively perform in bands, is equipped with college or university music degrees, ensuring proper theory and technique for every style of music. Guitar students also have the chance to participate in jam sessions with fellow musicians or perform solo in recitals. While we typically start students at age eight due to hand size, younger students can begin with a junior-sized guitar.
Drum Lessons
With expert drum instructors who are both musicians and educators, our drum lessons are designed for all levels—beginner to advanced. Students will learn vital skills such as time signatures, rhythmic patterns, counting measures, and performance techniques. Drum instruction forms the foundation of our school, offering endless opportunities to learn through some of the greatest songs in music history. Our performance program is at the heart of CEG, where jamming in lessons transitions to live stage performances.
