FAQ :
Where do you teach?       
      Our teachers come to your house.  We travel to homes in Franklin, Wrentham, Medway, Holliston, and Hopkinton.  Save time and energy.  
No need to drive and wait for lessons. 

How long should a lesson be?
      Ideally, lessons should be 1 hour long.  Enough time is needed to cover repertoire, reading, writing, and recital preparation.  It's possible to condense this down to 45 min, but lessons will often feel rushed.  A half hour lesson is ok for beginners (for a little while) and students under six years old, but generally isn't enough time to cover all the material needed to achieve optimum results.  You'll honestly receive a much greater return on the investment of your music education by having regular longer lessons.  

How much are lessons?
      Lessons are typically billed by the semester, Fall/Spring/Summer.  Tuition can be payed in full or in installments of 4 monthly payments to be paid on the 1st of the month for the first 4 months of the semester. The monthly installment fee is $5 per installment.  Fall (August 26th to the end of January) and spring (February 1st to the end of June) semesters consist of 18 lessons. The number of Summer lessons can be determined by the student.  Students can start anytime. Lessons and installments will be prorated.  Lessons can also be billed weekly or in packs of 10.  Please see pricing for more details.  As this is a traveling music school, we do not offer free trial lessons at this time.

Parents are not allowed to remove their students from the program and do business directly with teachers from Morey Music.  Please do not do this!  It is highly unethical, you will miss out on the recitals, and it hurts my business and my family!  You agree to these policies by doing business with Morey Music.

What kind of piano should I have?
      You'll need a piano in your home for lessons and daily practice.  Ideally, you'd have a real piano for the ultimate sound and experience.  Nothing compares to a real piano when it comes to sound, feel, and touch- all very important when it comes to learning any instrument, especially the piano!  Pianos can often be found for cheap or free on Craigslist, Facebook, etc,  -you'll just have to pay to have them moved.
      Sometimes, for various reasons, a real piano is not a possibility.  The next choice should be an 88 key, fully weighted keys, Keyboard.  These best simulate a real piano's touch, feel, and sound, and there are many different options and price points, but as long it has fully weighted keys, it should be fine.  The less buttons and distractions the better!  Keyboards that come with a stand, often referred to as "console" pianos, will look better in your home then the less expensive "portable" keyboards with a portable stand, but either are great options.
     If you already have something else, or want to start with something less expensive, that will be fine.  You can always upgrade, and you can never have too many instruments around the house or places to practice!

     Finding used instruments on craigslist, Facebook, or local music stores is a great option!
Check out Casio and Yamaha for electric pianos!

What kind of drums should I have?
       You'll need a drum set in your home for lessons and daily practice.  Ideally, you'd have a real drum set for the ultimate sound and experience.  Nothing compares to a real drum set when it comes to sound, feel, and touch- all very important when it comes to learning any instrument, especially the drums!  If noise or space is an issue, an electric set will be ok, and there are many great options.
      Any kind of 5 piece drum set should be fine (Bass, Snare, and 3 toms).  That should come with a Bass (kick) drum for the foot, a snare drum, 3 toms (1 floor tom and 2 rack toms), a high hat (cymbals that are operated by a pedal with the other foot), and hopefully one or two other cymbals.  A 4 piece (less 1 tom) will suffice.
     For smaller to average kids under the age of about 8, I recommend the Ludwig Junior drum set.  It comes with everything you need, at a bargain price, and most importantly, the sizes are just right.  If the drums are too big, little ones won't be able to sit comfortably and reach all the instruments.  Plus, it will last forever if taken care of, and won't need to be upgraded for many years, if ever.
      For average to larger kids 6-12, I recommend the PDP Junior drum set.  It just has little bit bigger bass drum (18 inches in diameter), but nearly identical to the Ludwig Junior set otherwise.
      For kids 12-17, I recommend any set with a 20" bass drum.  22" will be ok, but If you're under 5'6", it can be hard to get the toms set up in the right place.  

      Finding used instruments on craigslist, Facebook, or local music stores is a great option!
Stick to brand names for the best sounds and functions!  Pearl, Tama, PDP, Yamaha, Sonor, Ludwig, Mapex, Premier, Gretsch, Pork Pie.  Try to avoid buying a "toy" drum set -sets that sell new for less than $300!

       If you're looking at electric drums, I recommend a Roland Kit.  Then Yamaha.  Then a  Simmons kit will be ok.  
      Roland td-6 or td-9. (i think it goes all the way up to td30, so the skies the limit on these things).  Buy used and save a ton!

What kind of Guitar should I have?
We recommend the Squier Mini Strat Electric guitar made by Fender.  Sometimes called a "junior guitar".  It's just the right size for beginners and younger people with smaller hands.  You'll need a strap, tuner, amp, and cable - often sold in bundles at places like Guitar Center or Amazon.
