Frequently Asked Questions
GENERAL LESSON QUESTIONS
What ages do you teach? Our youngest student is 4 and our oldest is 86.
For younger children, we recommend they be able to focus for a 30-minute lesson and show willingness to practice during the week.
Do you offer lessons for adults? Absolutely—about 35% of our students are adults.
Learning an instrument later in life is one of the best ways to keep your brain elastic, your motor skills sharp, and your creativity thriving.
Do you teach complete beginners? Yes! We love beginners. Whether you’re 4 or 74, there’s never been a better time to start. We meet you exactly where you are and guide you forward with confidence.
Do you teach advanced students? Yes. Many professional musicians—and even some music teachers in the valley—are former London Studios students.
Our advanced pedagogy in guitar, piano, drums, voice, and violin ensures continual challenge, artistry, and growth.
Can I try a lesson before committing? Yes! We offer discounted trial lessons for $25 so you can meet your teacher and experience the studio before enrolling.
How long are lessons? We offer 30-minute, 45-minute, and 60-minute weekly lessons.
How often are the lessons? Lessons take place once per week at a set time.
We also offer a limited number of flexible “floating” slots for adults with unpredictable schedules.
Am I too old to start learning an instrument? Never! Music is for everyone. Our current student ages range from 4 to 86.
CURRICULUM + PROGRESS
How quickly will I see progress? Progress depends on consistent practice and engagement during the week.
Your instructor will guide, support, and motivate you—but your effort is the engine, and our expertise is the navigation system.
With steady practice, most students notice progress within just a few weeks.
Will I have something to work on every week? Yes. Your teacher will assign a weekly task sheet, and can also record short clips during the lesson to help with at-home practice.
Our Student Portal provides additional documents and videos for ongoing support.
Will I learn music theory? Yes—taught in a way that feels practical, engaging, and age-appropriate.
We prioritize hands-on playing first, then layer in theory to deepen understanding.
Will you teach me to sight-read? Yes.
- Guitarists learn both notation and tablature.
- We also offer specialized sight-reading workshops throughout the year.
Will my instructor help me write songs? Absolutely. Many of our teachers are active songwriters, performers, and producers.
We offer:
- Songwriting support in private lessons
- Special Master Songwriting Workshops
What styles of music do you teach? Everything!
Classical, pop, rock, jazz, worship, indie, musical theatre, and more.
Your goals = our curriculum.
TEACHERS + FIT
Why should I choose London Studios?London Studios offers one of the most enjoyable, effective, and award-winning music programs in Utah.
What sets us apart:
- Highly educated, hand-selected teachers
- Background checks on all instructors
- Many teachers hold advanced music degrees
- A warm, student-centered teaching approach
- Awarded Best in Salt Lake in Music Education for 6 years running
Can I switch teachers or instruments later? Absolutely.
We teach the student—not just the instrument. Your experience should feel curated, motivating, and inspiring. If you’d like to try a different teacher or instrument, we’ll help you find the right fit.
Can I sit in on my child’s lesson? Yes. Parents are welcome to sit in.
We simply ask that parents be seen and not heard, as students learn best when their teacher is the “boss” during lesson time.
RECITALS + PROGRAMS
Do you offer recitals or performance opportunities? Yes!
- Two annual recitals
- A fantastic rock band program (multiple sessions per year)
- Open mic groups that meet regularly
Do you offer group lessons or bands? Yes! Our rock band program is the best in the state.
How it works:
- Weekly rehearsals for about 3 months
- A live performance at the end
- Students sell $5 tickets—and keep all proceeds
INSTRUMENTS + MATERIALS
What should my child bring to their first lesson?
- Guitar & violin students: bring your instrument
- Drum students: bring a pair of sticks
- Piano & voice students: just bring yourself
Do I need my own instrument at home? It’s ideal to have an instrument available for practice, but if not, we’ll guide you on smart next steps.
Do you offer instrument rentals? We don’t rent instruments, but our retail shop can help you find the right guitar, amp, or accessories.
We also partner with local music stores and can point you toward excellent rental options.
SPECIALIZED NEEDS
Do you teach neurodivergent or special-needs learners? Yes! Several of our teachers have particular experience teaching neurodivergent students and those with additional learning needs.
All are welcome at London Studios.
