We currently offer in-home music lessons in Lincolnville, Hope, Camden, Searsmont, Appleton, and Belfast. If you’re located in another area and are interested in music lessons at your home, please schedule a consultation to join the waitlist for your location.

Getting started is easy! Simply schedule a phone consultation where we’ll discuss your current ability level, musical interests, and goals. From there, we’ll match you with the perfect teacher and get you scheduled for weekly lessons.

Yes, we work with your schedule to find a lesson time that fits best. Once your lesson time is set, it will remain the same each week to provide consistency in your learning.

If you need to cancel a lesson, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. When proper notice is given, you’ll receive a make-up credit in your student portal.

Online make-up lessons are offered twice per session and can be scheduled directly through the portal on a first-come, first-served basis. Make-up dates and available time slots will be posted in advance.

If your instructor needs to cancel a lesson, it will either be rescheduled or credited to your account. We strive to minimize instructor cancellations to maintain consistency in your learning.

At this time, we focus on providing high-quality in-home music lessons. However, if there is enough interest, we may explore offering online lessons in the future. Feel free to let us know if this is something you’re interested in.

We offer in-home music lessons for students of all ages and abilities, from young children to adults. Our customized lesson plans ensure that each student receives instruction tailored to their age, experience, and interests.

All of our instructors undergo comprehensive background checks and are selected based on their professional experience and teaching qualifications. We ensure that our teachers are not only skilled musicians but also passionate educators.

We encourage open communication and want to ensure you have the best possible experience. If you have any concerns, please reach out to our office, and we’ll work with you to address them promptly.

For your in-home music lessons, you’ll need your instrument, a quiet and well-lit space, and any lesson materials provided by your instructor. It’s also helpful to have a music stand and a notebook for taking notes during your lesson.

For students aged 17 or younger, a parent, guardian, or other authorized adult (at least 18 years old) must be present in the home during the lesson.

Please view our Policies Page for more information.

Outbound Music Lessons follows a school-year schedule with regular lessons during the Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions. There are no regular lessons in July or August, giving students and families time to relax and enjoy summer break.

We may offer special summer programs or workshops in the future — stay tuned for announcements in the spring!

We understand that schedules can change! While you’re not locked into any kind of long-term contract, we do ask for 30 days’ notice if you wish to take a break or discontinue lessons.

This notice allows us to adjust the schedule and offer your spot to another student. When you’re ready to return, we’ll do our best to match you with your preferred day, time, and teacher.

Yes! For students with some existing experience, our group lesson program focuses on the skills needed to play music together — listening, timing, collaboration, and performance.

For beginners (such as siblings in the same household), we can overlap their private lessons to give each student individual attention while also creating opportunities to start making music together. It’s a fun and flexible way to learn and grow side by side.

Of course! We can teach as many family members as you have — and you can even host lessons for friends at your home. There are no restrictions that limit lessons to immediate family or residents of the household; the only requirement is that all lessons take place at the same location each week.

Tuition is structured as follows:

• First student: $480 per session (3 monthly payments of $160)

• Each additional student: $360 per session (3 monthly payments of $120)

You can add as many additional students as you’d like — it’s a fun and convenient way for families and friends to learn together!
