Snake River Strings Co. is Idaho's Best music school, and for a good reason! Award-winning students, fun performance opportunities, prize and practice incentive programs, and building community are just a few things that Snake River Strings Co. is doing to breathe new life into traditional music lessons.
With options like flexible lesson punch card packs and flat rate monthly subscriptions, music lessons have never been so accessible.
Come experience the difference at a private music lesson at any of our convenient locations in Ammon, Blackfoot, Pocatello, or online (hybrid options available too!) with one of our many talented music mentors who specialize in Voice, Guitar, Violin, Fiddle, Cello, Harp, Viola, Bass, Piano, Ukulele, Electric Guitar, Songwriting, Drums, Banjo, and more.
Awesome performance opportunities
At Snake River Strings Co. we are committed to breaking down the stereotype of what has traditionally been known as boring recitals. We pull out all of the stops with fog machines, strobe lights, photographers, videographers, trophies, awards, prize money, giveaways, guest artists, and more.
Our hope is that every performance creates an experience and a memory the student will never forget! As they continue in their learning journey, they’ll never forget how awesome they felt on stage, how good it felt to have their hard work and practice time pay off, working together as a team, and helping lift the spirits of those watching. Also, not to mention having that special person in the audience cheering them on!
studio classes
Music is a culture and a shared experience. Some of the funnest and most rewarding experiences with music can be when you are playing together with other musicians! In just private lessons alone, students miss out on this opportunity to build teamwork, make friends with other students, learn from other teachers, build community, and the ability to play with others. That’s why we hold monthly studio classes in addition to our private lessons so that students can get the full experience, and most importantly the FUN of becoming a musician.
Inspiring mentors
We take the work out of finding a qualified instructor you can trust and your child can look up to. All instructors at Snake River Strings Co. are professional musicians who are background checked, receive continued training, attend employee meetings, and collaborate together to bring the best technologies and teaching strategies to your lessons. Admins take care of all scheduling and billing so that the teachers can focus solely on the students' development, and most importantly building lasting relationships!
FLEXIBILITY
We have an awesome lesson reporting app that is easy to use for parents and students. You get text and email reminders about upcoming lessons, easy auto-invoicing, and yes you can even schedule makeup lessons in a breeze!
For families on the go, you can drop off multiple children at once and everyone can be done in as little as 30 minutes!

"Gotta say that Snake River Strings is just about the best thing to happen in SE Idaho in recent memory. Really. Shelby has assembled an amazing group of instructors on various musical instruments, and this group has created a sense of community that exceeds all expectations. Not only is the music instruction first rate, but there are so many fun activities and events. And students are not limited to a single musical style, but can learn different genres to match their interests, including classical, bluegrass, old time, Celtic, and contest fiddling. There is a reason why students from all over SE Idaho and SW Wyoming are enrolled in music lessons at SRS. They are simply the BEST!"

"We love Snake River Strings Co. Our boys have been taking guitar lessons for a couple of years now, it is amazing to see them progress. Jayden is such an awesome guitar teacher. They love practicing because they get to be involved in picking the songs they are learning. At Snake River Strings the students have private lessons and also a group lesson each month which is awesome. We really enjoy watching our kids preform in concerts and recitals. Shelby has really made SRSC an amazing place to learn!"

"We are loving Snake River Strings. The music teachers are super and the vibe is serious, but homey. My son is getting what he needs and having a blast simultaneously. He is taking private piano lessons, and we added drums with SRS, and now he wants to start learning guitar. Great place to send your learners. Owners of the business are friendly and professional. I highly recommend it!"

"Our son has been taking guitar lessons for a year, he started with acoustic and is now doing electric. His teacher Jayden has helped him come out of his shell and he’s not nearly as shy as he use to be. It’s been a wonderful thing because he’s now found something he’s truly passionate about and it brings him so much joy and happiness!"
