Lesson Rates

We are proud to offer excellent teachers at some of the lowest rates in town!

We want everyone to have a chance to study music. You won’t find better teachers at lower rates than ours. Keep in mind you may need some materials like books and a metronome. You’ll buy these elsewhere, and we try to keep these costs to a minimum – usually under $30. We’re not a retail store and we won’t try to sell you anything. We’ll point you to the cheapest places to get anything you need.

Lessons are paid monthly at the first lesson of each month. Lessons are typically 30-minutes.

Months with 4x 30-minute lessons $120
i.e. your lessons are on Wednesdays and the month has 4 Wednesdays

lessons are $30 per lesson paid for a month in advance.

Working Hours

You are welcome to drop-in but teachers will likely be with students and may not be able to speak with you.

Please contact them directly over the phone or by email. You will need to speak directly with a teacher for specific lesson time availability and to coordinate a time for your lessons. Call or text us for available times.

My daughter has been attending Tempo School of Music for the past six years and she has learned so much. She truly enjoys coming to her piano lessons weekly. All of the instructors are very friendly and professional. Thank you Roby for your time and dedication here at TSM.

Love my teacher Roby, he is so patient and knowledgeable and most of all I love how he lives his life through music. Great teacher!

My sister took piano lessons from Roby Deaton in the late 90s and my children have been taking piano lessons from him for the past 3 years. Roby is amazing! He is so patient with children. He has a great personality and makes learning fun and enjoyable!
