Irvin Music Studio was the best choice we could have made for our wedding. The acoustic guitar and violin duo was simply MAGICAL. Our guests were so impressed. Sam was super accommodating with music selections and even customized the arrangements to meet our wishes. I was blown away by the quality and professionalism. A+++

Music Lessons & Composition Coaching

  • Lessons available for all ages, 6 and up

  • A patient teacher means a safe space to make mistakes and learn through experimentation

  • Learn a well-rounded curriculum to become a well-rounded musician:

    • Improvisation, technique studies & music theory (scales, chord construction, harmonic analysis, reading standard notation…)

  • Receive gentle encouragement to practice and foster self-discipline to accomplish your musical goals

  • Collect pieces of music to begin/expand your own repertoire

Most instructors are great players. Not all instructors are great teachers. Sam is both. We were particularly impressed with his ability to teach to the learning style of our 15 year old daughter. Competent, kind, courteous, and professional. Highly recommend.
