Important Information

What do I need to provide for in-home music lessons or music therapy sessions?

You will need to provide a safe and private space where lessons can take place. It does not need to be a separate room, but the space has to provide an environment where students can focus and fully attend.

Do I need to provide instruments?

  • If you are taking music therapy sessions or music lessons for young children or children with special needs, the therapist/instructor will bring instruments, props, and a guitar.
  • If you are taking piano lessons, you will need to provide an acoustic piano or decent electric piano with touch sensitive features (weighted keys) with a stand and chairs for the student and the teacher.
  • If you are taking guitar, ukulele or flute lessons, you need to have your own instrument.

How do I get started?

Please start with our starter’s package which includes 5 sessions. This will give the student enough time to get to know the teacher or therapist. The therapist or teacher will also assess the student’s learning style, strengths, interests, and preferences in order to tailor session content.

Hug Music emphasizes the importance of customizing the contents of the session to each student in order to bring the best out of our students. Our instructors and therapists carefully observe students and we usually start to see great progress after 2-3 sessions.
