Located in SE Portland, The Open Measure offers lessons in voice, guitar, piano, bass, songwriting and music production — helping students of all ages develop skills, spark creativity, and build a solid music theory foundation.

Our studio is in ActivSpace on SE Main St., just a stone’s throw from anywhere in SE Portland, with Ladd’s, Hawthorne, and Division nearby!

Absolutely! We always start with a free 30-minute lesson! This ensures a great fit between teacher and student — and it’s a perfect chance to try different instruments if you’re undecided.

Give us 24hrs notice before a cancellation and we will do our best to reschedule! However, sometimes our schedules are too full, and we can’t fit in a reschedule. So, we have a couple options: an online lesson at your regular time, or a personalized video lesson recorded by your instructor.

We bill monthly on a per lesson basis. Some months have 5 weeks, and others have 3—you will see this reflected on your invoice each month. Rest assured, you will only be charged for the lessons you take each month!
