In-Home lessons are available for your convenience. Music on Wheels, LLC offers in-home lessons to students within the Metro Atlanta region within 30 miles of our academy. These lessons are at the travel discretion of the teacher. Please be aware that sometimes, due to traffic, a music teacher may sometimes run behind. Therefore, please give the music teacher a 15 – 20-minute grace period to arrive at your home (unless the music teacher calls with a different time, in which you may choose to reschedule the lesson if necessary). All in-home lessons are scheduled 15 – 30 apart. Therefore, any in-depth questions concerning a student’s lesson are best done by a phone call so that the music teacher does not run late to the next student’s lesson.
