You’ll Feel the Difference — and So Will Your Child.

At Dennis Frayne Music Studios, parents quickly notice what sets us apart. Many parents tell us they can feel the difference right away: music lessons here are kind, calm, collaborative, and genuinely welcoming. Dr. Dennis is delighted to share that his article, “Teaching Strategies for Struggling Students,” appears in California Music Teacher (MTAC), Volume 29, Number 2, Fall 2025, pp. 29–33 — one example of how we keep learning, contributing to, and bringing the best of the music education field directly into your child’s lesson.

Recitals through the end of the year … Sign up early!
Q. Do you teach virtual art lessons? - Yes!
