Private lessons are the foundation of the educational path at Blue Heron Music School.

Each student follows a personalized learning plan that balances technique, listening, and musical understanding, helping them develop confidence and independence over time.

Lessons are available for children, teens, and adults, and are offered both in person and online through a high-quality learning environment.

Blue Heron Music School supports a variety of instruments and musical disciplines within the same educational philosophy.

Current areas of instruction include:

• Guitar

• Piano

• Bass

• Drums

• Voice

• Ukulele

• Music Theory & Songwriting

Programs and instruments continue to expand as the school grows.

As students progress, Blue Heron Music School encourages shared musical experiences through ensemble and band-based activities.

Playing music with others helps students develop timing, listening skills, musical interaction, and a deeper understanding of their role within a group.

These experiences connect individual study to real musical contexts and support confidence and musical maturity.

Throughout the year, Blue Heron Music School offers workshops and special programs focused on specific musical topics and skills.

Workshops provide opportunities for students to explore new concepts, deepen understanding, and experience music in different formats beyond the regular lesson structure.

Topics and formats evolve based on student interest and school development.

Performance is an important part of musical growth.

Blue Heron Music School organizes recitals and performance opportunities that allow students to share their progress in a supportive and respectful environment.

These moments help students build confidence, motivation, and a stronger connection to their musical journey.

Online programs at Blue Heron Music School are designed specifically for music education — not as a simplified alternative.

Through a high-quality online learning environment, students receive the same structured guidance, personalized attention, and educational continuity as in-person students.

Online lessons are suitable for:

• Students outside the local area

• Busy families and adult students

• Musicians seeking a consistent, flexible learning option

The online format allows students to progress steadily while remaining fully connected to the school’s educational approach.

As students progress, specific goals may naturally emerge — such as preparing for a performance, audition, recording session, or focusing deeply on a particular musical topic.

When appropriate, short-term focused study projects may be designed to support these goals, always within the context of the school’s educational approach.

These projects are developed on an individual basis and are intended to complement ongoing study, not replace the regular learning path.
