Why Families Choose In-Home Lessons
Service Area
We currently offer in-home music lessons and music therapy sessions throughout most of Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan.
How do I get started?
We recommend beginning with our Starter Package, which includes 5 sessions. This introductory period allows the student to get to know the teacher or therapist, while we assess the student’s learning style, strengths, and goals.
At Hug Music, we believe that every student is unique — our teachers carefully observe and tailor session content to bring out each student’s best potential. Many families notice meaningful progress within just a few sessions.
