What Our Students Are Saying

"I've been working with Bold for just over a year now and I have been amazed by the convenience of in-home guitar lessons. With George working around my schedule, I find that I get more lesson time in. If I'm busy, I can just call and reschedule... it's never a problem. Overall, it has been very enjoyable and I am learning much faster this way."

"Bold Music is seriously a dream come true. George and Dean are highly educated, creative, nice guys who motivate anyone who has a passion for music. Not only are lessons interesting for students, but it's a treat to hear them during their jam sessions. We are grateful to know these talented and trustworthy guys. Thanks Bold Music!"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you provide my instrument or do I have to buy one?

You must have your own instrument before your music lessons in Raleigh can begin. For voice instruction, this includes having a 44-key keyboard. If you need help purchasing an instrument, please let us know - we can help.

 

How do I know if my teacher is any good?

Bold Music instructors are professional musicians. We attract the best music teachers in Raleigh largely because our company is owned by musicians. Our instructors know we understand their challenges and appreciate how they enrich our community. They are valued, supported, and provided with opportunities to hone their craft. During the hiring process, Bold instructors are vetted by George Ramsay, co-founder and CEO, for their musical ability, theory knowledge, and teaching effectiveness. All of our instructors provide performance videos for review, have multiple interviews, and go through thorough background and reference checks. 

 

Can I pick the teacher I want?

You can request a teacher if you’d like, but we can’t guarantee that you will work with your requested instructor. Placing a student with an instructor involves matching a student’s instrument, address, and availability with the teacher's instrumentation, location, and availability. Like a puzzle - all of the pieces have to fit.

 

How many times can I reschedule lessons, and can I skip a lesson?

As long as you give your instructor 24 hours notice, you can reschedule your music lessons in Raleigh as often as necessary. All student-canceled lessons are made up on our virtual platform. Regarding skipping lessons, being part of our subscription-based service means that you have reserved personalized time on your instructor's schedule. We purposefully offer a very generous rescheduling and makeup policy to give you and your instructor every opportunity to get the most from your lessons. For this reason, we do not allow for skipped sessions.

 

What makes Bold Music different from other lesson companies?

Bold is different from other music studios because we offer much more than music instruction, and our commitment to top quality service is unparalleled. We are a community of musicians and students with many opportunities to collaborate, and we tailor our instruction to your interests rather than strictly adhering to one methodology. We are customer-focused and recognize that our small business depends on excellent service. We enjoy working with committed students and recognize that every week we’re working together to make the experience great for our students and instructors.
