FAQ
Every question, answered honestly
If it's not here, call or text us at 386-299-8258 — we're happy to talk it through.
My child has never played an instrument. Is that okay?
Absolutely — most of our students start with zero experience. Level 1 classes are built for complete beginners, and our small groups mean your child gets personal attention while learning alongside kids at the same stage.
Will my child actually enjoy group lessons?
Kids thrive in our groups. Learning next to friends turns practice into play — students cheer each other on, perform together, and earn Music Bucks for the POMA Store. Group energy is the reason our students keep coming back year after year.
Do you provide instruments?
Students bring their own instruments. Once you register, we email a complete guide covering exactly which instrument to buy (or rent), where to get it locally, and which method books your child's class uses. Wind instrument rentals are available through Music Shack (407-678-1765).
How much do lessons cost?
Tuition is $85/month plus a $25 yearly registration fee. Pay by semester or by year and save: Fall (Sept–Dec) is $320, Spring (Jan–May) is $400, or the full school year is $720. Payment is by Zelle or cash.
What if we miss a class?
With a set weekly group schedule, we can't offer makeup classes, refunds, or prorated tuition for missed lessons — but our teachers make sure returning students catch up quickly, and the online resources help students stay on track at home.
Can my child switch instruments?
Yes. If your child wants to try a different instrument, just talk to us — we'll help find the right class and level. Many POMA students play more than one instrument over the years.
How do performances work?
Every student performs! We film a Virtual Christmas Concert in December, and the year ends with live in-person concerts at Port Orange Christian Church in May — one night each for guitar, piano, and winds/percussion/Tiny Tots. Performing in a low-pressure, supportive setting builds real confidence.
Do you accept scholarships?
Yes — several POMA families use the Florida Step Up Scholarship and other programs to cover lesson fees. If your child qualifies, let us know as soon as possible and we'll make sure tuition is properly covered.
What should my child bring to class?
Their instrument, a foldable music stand, a 3-ring binder with 50 sheet protectors, and the required method book. Please arrive 10 minutes early. Parents are welcome to wait in the lobby during instruction.
What ages do you teach?
We teach students ages 4 and up. Tiny Tot Piano serves ages 4–6, and our leveled piano, guitar, winds, and percussion classes serve elementary and middle schoolers. We even offer an adult guitar class at Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach.
