Join us.
What do you teach?
We teach guitar, piano, drums, bass guitar, ukulele, voice, violin, viola, sax, trombone, tuba, trumpet, euphonium, recorder, and songwriting lessons. Our instructors teach up to the advanced level in all of these disciplines.
What are your core values?
We think music can be fun and taught at the highest level. Our teachers are top notch, but we want our students - kids and adults - to remember why they wanted to learn music in the first place -- because it's fun, it soothes the soul, and you take it with you for life!
And it should go without saying, but we'll make it clear: The Music Coop is inclusive. That means everyone has the right to respect no matter their gender, sexual orientation, ability levels, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, or religious beliefs.
How experienced are your instructors?
All of our instructors have degrees in music, and have many years of experience in their instruments, at all age levels and ranges. Their styles are comfortable, fun, and professional. You'll get the real deal here, but you'll also have fun while you learn.
How much for a lesson and how do I pay?
Lessons are $35/per half hour. All of our payments are done through PayPal and you can pay for lessons by purchasing single lessons, lesson packages or by signing up for a monthly subscription. If you purchase a lesson package, the lessons don't have to be consecutive and you will only be charged when you have a lesson. If you have a budget in mind for your music lessons, or if you need any amount of financial assistance to make the cost of music lessons more comfortable for you, just let us know -- no questions asked. It's our nonprofit mission to make music lessons affordable for everyone!
What's your lesson cancellation policy?
You can reschedule or cancel your lesson online or by contacting your instructor or hello@musiccoopmn.org. up to 24 hours before your lesson time. If you need to cancel after 24 hours for any reason, you can attempt to reschedule your lesson with your instructor. If you aren't able to reschedule, you'll be charged the cost of the missed lesson.
Who can take lessons?
Everyone, ages 0-1000. Whether you're just starting out or have always wanted to learn, we'd love for you to join us.
Do you teach adults, too?
We absolutely do. Many of our students are adults, at all levels.
What's the parking situation?
We have a free lot in front of the space, and plenty of street parking.
Can I drop off my student? Or can I wait for my student at the space?
In typical times, you're welcome to drop off, or wait - your choice! Because of current COVID-19 protocols, we ask that you wait in your car for your students.
Do you offer group lessons?
Sure do! Group lessons are our standard rate ($35/half hour) plus $10 for each additional person. Bring the whole family.
Do you offer virtual lessons? How do they work?
Yes! You'll sign up for lessons as usual, then we'll send you an email to confirm your virtual lesson time with instructions.
What do I need for my virtual lesson?
Nothing fancy. Most students are using their phone - FaceTime or Google Duo. We're open to your video streaming tool of choice. For the lesson, make sure you camera/phone is mounted so we can see you and your instrument, and make sure you're in a well-lit room.
Can I buy a lesson or gift certificate for a loved one?
You can. You can purchase a gift certificate online by clicking here. You can also purchase a gift certificate at the store with credit, cash or check.
Do you sell gear?
We do! We have a small selection of instruments, gear and accessories at our space. Please email us at hello@musiccoopmn.org to set up an appointment to try instruments.
I have more questions. How can I reach you?
Drop us a note at hello@musiccoopmn.org. We'd love to chat.
