Chuka Nnabuihe2024-08-26Shyan Simpson is a fantastic teacher! Really passionate about music and easy to talk to. Very understanding of your schedule and tries to accommodate you anyhow he can. It’s been a pleasure learning how to play piano under his wing. Looking forward to the future!
Don Huzar2024-07-27Chancé has been my vocal instructor for about a year and a half. She has been instrumental in my improvement. She is everything a good teacher should be: patient, persistent, positive, and fun. She pushes when she need to push and provides necessary feedback while cheering you on. Lessons have been great and I would recommend her as a vocal coach.
Tiara Anderson2024-07-23Chancé Snethun is a wonderful teacher. She is incredibly patient with my daughter who has ADHD. I would highly recommend her for voice lessons
Kristy Goodrow2024-07-23Our daughter has been working with Chancé for almost a year and we cannot express how thoroughly impressed we have been with her! Our daughter has made significant strides vocally under Chancé’s tutelage. Chancé is knowledgeable, has a great connection with our daughter, and is a wonderful influence. She motivates, encourages and pushes her to expand her abilities while ensuring she continues to have a love to learn. We absolutely cannot recommend Chancé enough!
Anajane Anderson2024-07-04I am thrilled to share my experience with my teacher, Lyra. She is amazing and a truly great teacher. Lyra has a wonderful personality and always listens to my needs, making our lessons engaging and productive. I feel fortunate to have her as my teacher and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a supportive and effective learning experience. Shes also a talented artist!!!!!
Tara Bohle2024-06-06My 3 kids and I have been with Dark Mountain Music for almost 2 years now and absolutely love it! I'm always referring friends so I figured it's about time I left a review! lol The instructor is amazing and makes each lesson engaging and enjoyable. We take singing, piano and guitar lessons. Plus most recently music production. It's great that we can add or change instruments as we go without having to change studios or companies etc.. because they teach them all here. I also like that he comes to us for lessons instead of me having to drag my kids around. Super convenient that way. I've heard from many friends who are with other companies, that their younger kids don't enjoy piano lessons cause they're forced to work on classical music, but you get to play what you love here. You pick the songs to work on. Like my boys are learning video game music and current alternative music. Which is really cool to see and hear converted to the piano. I can't ever see us leaving Dark mountain music!
Amy B.2024-03-24I have been taking singing lessons with the absolutely amazing Julia for almost a year now and my experience has been wonderful! Julia is a fantastic teacher. I have grown so much in my time with her and I'm looking forwarded to continuing to push my vocal boundaries with her help. I recently started piano with her as well and I'm loving every minute. Julia is professional, patient, and most importantly, inspiring. My lessons are my favourite day of the week.
Mehak Kaul2023-10-18My experience with Dark Mountain Music’s Ukulele lessons has been the best! My instructor’s super passionate, skilled, and supportive. I highly recommend their lessons for anyone seeking to improve their musical skills!!
Louise MacPherson2023-08-22I am very happy with this company. I have Julia Bolden she is a very good person she is patient and very knowledgeable. I am retired and I very appreciative of her patience with me. Thank you Julia.
Eric Huang2023-08-21My daughter has been taking vocal lessons with Chancé Snethun for about a month and loves it. She's excited for every lesson and it's been great seeing her pick up new skills

faq
What are the different types of ukuleles, and how do they differ in size, tone, and playability?
Ukuleles vary in size, each with distinct tones and playability. Soprano ukuleles are small with a bright tone, great for beginners and Hawaiian music. Concert ukuleles have a fuller sound and more fret space, ideal for performances.
Tenor ukuleles give you more resonance and projection, so you get that fuller, richer sound. Baritone ukuleles produce a deep, mellow tone like classical guitars, suitable for larger hands or diverse playing styles. These options cater to different preferences and styles.
Do you provide ukuleles for students to use during lessons, or do they need to bring their own?
Students should bring their own ukuleles to lessons, as it’s crucial for effective practice and progress. If you are unsure about purchasing a Ukulele, we can offer recommendations or guidance on purchasing or budget friendly renting options if needed, ensuring you have a suitable instrument to get started. This ensures full engagement and maximizes the learning experience.
What genres of music do your ukulele lessons cover, and can I request specific songs or styles to learn?
Definitely! Feel free to tell us your favorite songs, and we’ll make sure to include them in your lessons. Our instructors are flexible and accommodating, tailoring lessons to meet the individual needs and interests of each student.
Whether you have a specific song on the ukulele that you’ve been eager to learn or want to explore a particular genre or playing style, we’re here to help you achieve your musical goals. Just let us know your preferences, and we’ll work together to create a lesson plan that suits you.
What is the duration and frequency of ukulele lessons?
We offer weekly music lessons in 30-minute, 45-minute, and 60-minute durations. We recommend 30 minutes for ages 4-8, 45 minutes for ages 9-12, and 60 minutes for ages 13 and up. The lesson times are all set up to match the attention spans and stages of development for different age groups, so everyone can have the best learning experience possible within their budget. You can even customize how long your lessons are later down the road if you think you would benefit from some extra time!
