Patterson School of Dance

Private lessons are a great way for your dancer to have one-on-one attention to help refine their skills, get a head start for the upcoming dance season, or to learn a new style! All dancers ages 7 and older of all skill levels are welcome to book a private lesson with one of our qualified instructors regardless of the dancer's prior training.

Julianna will teach your student to read sheet music and chord progressions. The student will learn the anatomy of the guitar, how to tune the guitar, and how to play the guitar. Julianna will personally create lesson plans around your student based on the student's ability and music tastes. Lessons available for students age 5 to adult. All experience levels welcome!
