Music Pillars states that it offers performance-based music lessons for kids in San Diego, including piano, voice, guitar, drums, and musical theatre. According to the mission statement, students build confidence, creativity, and real skills through rigorous curriculum reinforced with software, engaging classes, and many live performances, with the aim of giving beginners and advanced students tools in music that will allow them to participate and contribute as musicians throughout their life. The organization states that students should become musicians first and technically proficient on their instrument second, and that its goal is to put play back into music through three key principles: Play for Fun, Play for Others, and Play Deeply. The program uses monthly assessment exams to monitor and track progress, a rigorous curriculum reinforced with software, and many live performances, and it lists core instructional pillars of Love, Audiation, Theory, Pattern Recognition, Dexterity, Improvisation, Sight-Reading, and Composition. It combines teaching methods from classical/traditional (focus on sight-reading and technical proficiency), Suzuki (focus on ear training), and jazz (focus on applied theory and ear training). Families can schedule a free trial lesson, a free demo for group classes, or a free assessment, and there is a sibling discount of $10 off each month for each additional child in a family. The program uses flat per-month or flat-tuition pricing rather than per-class pricing, allows rescheduling a lesson online if the original lesson was cancelled at least one day in advance, and requires 30-day written notice to stop group and individual lessons. Families gone for 4 or more consecutive weeks can use makeups within 30 days of canceling or can unenroll with 30-day notice and re-enroll later, and typical weeks and days off each calendar year are listed for January, February, April, May, June, July, September, October, November, and December. The program mirrors the same President’s Week, Spring Break, and Winter Break schedule as the Poway Unified School District.
