Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose which instrument is right for me?2023-02-27T21:12:39-06:00

We know making that first step in choosing your instrument is a tough one. Don’t let that stop you! We are committed to helping your student find the right fit.

How do I choose which music mentor is right for me?2023-02-27T21:16:14-06:00

Every lesson and class is led by instructors that we purposely call “mentors.” We take the responsibility of training the next generation seriously. Each of our mentors is not only thoroughly background checked, trained, and empowered to develop the student’s gifts and talents, but also to build trusted and reliable connections. We believe that if the students trust the environment and mentor, they will thrive and grow faster. You can meet our Music Mentors here!

Can I change my instrument or my mentor?2023-02-27T21:17:13-06:00

Absolutely. Making an instrument or mentor change is easy. Simply contact our office at (615) 804-1177 or music@rootsacademy.com and let them know what you’d like to do. They’ll be happy to talk you through your options.

How does music lesson enrollment work?2023-06-28T17:39:15-05:00

We have several options available for weekly music lessons:

  • 30 minute lessons ($165/month)
  • 45 minute lessons ($245/month)
  • 60 minute lessons ($330/month)

When you enroll in music lessons, you reserve a day & time on a mentor’s calendar that will be yours until you decide to change your schedule or discontinue lessons.

Music students are not locked into long-term commitments as tuition is billed monthly, however, we recommend committing to lessons for at least a year in order to see instrument progress, especially for beginners.

What is the best age to start music lessons?2023-06-28T17:45:24-05:00

The best age to start music lessons depends on the individual and their goals.

Some children may start music lessons as early as age three or four, while others may start in their teenage years. It is generally recommended to start music lessons when the child shows an interest in music and is ready to commit to practicing regularly.

We generally find that children are ready to start sometime between the ages of six and eight.

It is also important to consider the child’s physical and cognitive development when deciding on the appropriate age to start music lessons.

It’s also never too late to begin music lessons! Our Music student community is full of students of all ages — both kids and adults!

What are the signs that my child is ready to start music lessons?2022-12-05T17:31:38-06:00

There are several signs that a child may be ready to start music lessons, including:

  1. Expressing an interest in music: A child who shows an interest in music, such as listening to songs or singing along, may be ready to start music lessons.
  2. Demonstrating coordination and fine motor skills: Children who are able to hold and manipulate small objects, such as a pencil or a toy instrument, may be ready to start music lessons.
  3. Showing a willingness to learn and practice: Children who are willing to listen to instructions and put in the effort to practice regularly may be ready to start music lessons.
  4. Demonstrating a positive attitude towards music: Children who have a positive attitude towards music and are excited to learn may be ready to start music lessons.

We are happy to discuss your child and their uniqueness at any time. Simply email or call us at (615) 804-1177, extension 1.
