sonalith music education
Creativity is the measure of great musicianship. Musical icons throughout time have established themselves with their songs, philosophies, academic works, and community involvement. At Sonalith we believe that creativity is a fundamental part of musical growth, and we integrate it into every lesson.​
You have immense potential for creativity. The road to unlocking that potential involves hard work, discipline, and self-discovery. We live to mentor those with the passion and courage to take on the challenges music presents. Join us on the journey—working together we can strengthen your craft and creativity, develop your perspective, help you find inspiration, and all become better musicians together.
Free Hour Long Consultation with Lesson Example
A good student and teacher relationship is vital for a musician to make their best progress. We want our students to feel confident with our services before they make an investment. To demonstrate our commitment to that idea we offer a consultation with a lesson example free to anyone interested in taking lessons with us.
​
During the consultation process a teacher will assess the kinds of music the student prefers, the artists that most inspire them, their goals as a musician, their current skill level and musical knowledge, the practice time they can regularly commit to, and build an outline of the technical skills and concepts that will most benefit that student based on their assessment. This consultation will ensure a structured plan is in place for each musician as an individual before their first paid lesson begins.
After the consultation, prospects will be given a lesson that introduces them to Sonalith’s creativity-oriented teaching. This way the student will understand the approach and the type of work expected of them moving forward.
​
With all this in mind there is no reason for you to hesitate. Book your free lesson with Sonalith, risk-free, and see what we have to offer you.

Working Through Musical Plateaus
The performance plateau is an inevitable part of learning anything physical. They can last for years if unaddressed and can even destroy a musician’s relationship to their instrument.
Understanding what makes a musician feel as though they are experiencing a plateau, learning the strategies for overcoming musical stagnation, and adopting a healthy view of the challenges plateaus present are invaluable skills for a musician’s toolkit.

Got Songwriter's Block?
Writer's Block is dreaded in many mediums and can make us question our ability. Why does it happen, and how do we overcome it when it does?

Diversifying our skillset for finding and implement inspiration can help overcome this hurdle. Should you practice facing the problem head on or circumventing it? I say both!
