I fortunately had the opportunity to begin formal music lessons during my preschool years and music changed the trajectory of my life as I now work as a music therapist, educator, performer, and church musician. ​
The benefits of music have affected me during every stage of life; however, some benefits had even greater prominence during my childhood and adolescent years than my adult years. No matter what stage of life you are in, I hope my experiences will encourage you to consider learning a new instrument, picking an instrument back up, or continuing your current studies with renewed enthusiasm.

​We have entered a new era of communication! More can be done in less time, communication is quicker and more efficient, and tasks can be completed from home. SC Music Lessons gives the option for students to be virtual and because of that, the opportunities to learn the arts are endless!

With virtual lessons, neither you nor the instructor needs to consider travel time. Additionally, if you have children, you will not need childcare while you do your lessons. Going virtual allows more time flexibility and enables you to having an engaging lesson from the comfort of your home. 

A lesson that required you to block an hour and a half of your day now only requires 30 minutes of productive effort!
