First Notes Program — Capen Music (Adult)
Music lesson at Capen Music
The Intro Class

What happens across your 2 sessions.

Week 1
Before class starts

The teacher sits down with you before a note is played. 15 minutes to understand what drew you to music, where you want to get to, and any prior experience.

The first lesson

30 minutes, one-on-one. You play something by the end of it. The teacher notes how you respond to instruction, what clicks, and where you need time.

Post-class debrief

Our staff sits down with you after the lesson. You get a specific read on how you learn and what a path forward looks like.

Week 2
Recap

Our staff picks up from the first debrief and briefs the teacher before the session starts. What worked, what to adjust, what to build on.

The second lesson

30 minutes again. The teacher already knows how you learn, so they can move faster and go deeper.

Next step

Our staff walks you through your options: how to continue, which instrument fits your goals, and what a monthly schedule would look like.
