February 21, 2025: Friday Medley
Happy Friday!
Did You Know? Our Price-for-Life Guarantee is Real!
We raise our prices a little bit about every six months, mostly to offset inflation and the rising costs of everything, costs that are increasing perpetually, all the time. But we raise our prices only for new students and families.
We never raise rates for enrolled students and families as long as the students continue in lessons (stay enrolled). We mean for life, literally.
So as time goes on and rates are raised at the music school for new students (mostly to accommodate inflation), your rate will never increase, ever, for any number of years that the student(s) continues in music lessons (stay continuously enrolled).
So, for example, students and families who began lessons as part of the Dennis Frayne Music Studios Travel Studio in 2018 (pre-COVID!), are still paying the rate they started with at that time, six years ago. And, students and families who began lessons at our Laguna Niguel School of Music location in 2021/2022, are still paying the rate they started with at that time, over two years ago!
Imagine the savings over a decade or longer!
Many students and families are saving a lot of money because they have stuck with their music lessons and remained enrolled for many years, and will continue to save more and more money as time goes on. And receive an outstanding music education throughout.
While everything else increases in price, our prices remain the same, as long as you remain continuously enrolled.
We look forward to a long lasting and mutually-beneficial musical and educational relationship with you and your family!

Studio Theme for the Season
From now until the end of March, join in the fun and learning by participating in our music studio theme for the season: Songs of the Irish and Springtime.
In addition to the first day of Spring, St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, various patriotic holidays, as well as the Persian New Year (Nowruz), fall during this period. Students will be learning music related to and expressing these themes, and discussing with their teachers how the music they are already learning might relate to and express these themes.
Recitals Coming Up
We have quite a few recital opportunities coming up! Remember, recitals are one of the best ways to enjoy the music students are learning. Making music with other musicians and for a friendly audience offers many personal rewards and satisfactions, and encourages students to prepare, plan, and practice! Regular performances in welcoming environments promote confidence and help children, youth, and adult students learn to command the stage.
