What the day feels like
What a lesson feels like
A brief, disciplined half-hour in the Porter Pavilion: students check in, warm up with technique or scales, work through a focused lesson plan with an instructor, and leave with a short practice plan and the option to schedule follow-ups or a bundle of sessions. Lessons are built to be supportive and progressive — small, repeatable sessions that add up.
