Our woodwind and brass teachers teach all styles of music, from learning to play by ear to reading music. If you want to play classical music or big band, we have a teacher for you. Our students love learning the fundamentals, as well as incorporating your favorite songs into their lessons. Our teachers have friendly personalities and love working with children and teens and adults!

Children may change instrument sizes as they grow. Our teachers will help you choose the right size instrument.

You can expect to spend about $25 per month on an instrument rental (some brass instruments cost more to rent) and most places will allow you to "rent to own." We can recommend several retail stores to rent an instrument. We do not recommend buying an inexpensive string instrument for beginners, as that will cost you more money in the long run.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT WILL I LEARN IN THESE LESSONS?
Our teachers understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. We make it a priority to tailor how we teach and what we teach to your individual needs.

If you enroll here for lessons, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or a child. Together, you will develop a plan to achieve your goals! We love beginners, so even if you don't know where to begin, we can help!

WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC CAN I LEARN?
We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, worship, and classical. We combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play. With all of the teachers at Natomas School of Music, you are sure to find the best match for YOU.

ARE YOUR TEACHERS QUALIFIED?
Our teachers are highly qualified, all have teaching experience, and most importantly, they have a passion for teaching. Being a musician doesn't automatically make you a teacher--that's why we search for those who are best qualified for mentoring our music students!

We search the entire Sacramento area for the top teachers, who embody the high values at Natomas School of Music. Most importantly, our teachers strive to relate their teaching to each individual student's learning style. Many of our instructors have years of professional performance experience, and some are still actively performing today. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly, and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level. We search high and low for the BEST teachers, so you don't have to!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY A PICCOLO, FLUTE, CLARINET, SAXOPHONE, TRUMPET, TROMBONE, OR TUBA?
There is no set answer of how long it takes. With regular practice, a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long-term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.

I DON’T HAVE ANY MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR ABILITY. CAN I STILL HELP MY CHILD PRACTICE? 
Yes. Even if you don't have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress. Parents are welcome to sit in on their child’s music lesson and observe.
