Cloud Chords is a collective of teachers who make learning music fun, accessible, and meaningful for all students. 

Founded in 2020, we started out by specializing in online lessons. Our founder Eliot created a unique system using magnetic whiteboards to add visuals and games that make online learning feel more personal and engaging. Today we still offer virtual lessons, and we're also excited to meet students face-to-face. Our teachers now travel to homes across Seattle, providing personalized in-home music lessons that fit conveniently into your schedule. 

Cloud Chords instructors are active, renowned, and vetted professional musicians. We have experience in everything from performing in bands, composing music for films, to writing our own music method books. Our teaching style is flexible and personalized. We're dedicated to understanding each student’s musical interests, learning style, and goals, and then adapting our approach to fit those needs. Cloud Chords instructors incorporate music games, improvisation activities, songwriting, ear training, and performance opportunities into our teaching method.  

We believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to learning music. Our goal is to help students build a love for their instrument that will last. Whether you’re a complete beginner or coming back to music after some time away, we focus on creating a comfortable, encouraging space where students of all ages can grow and enjoy the process.
