FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about the Music Rooms
Do I need musical experience?
No. Many people start with zero experience. Sessions meet you where you’re at.
Do I have to perform or share my music?
No. You choose whether to share. Some people love sharing, others prefer to create privately. It’s your music, up to you.
What if I need breaks or have sensory needs?
Tell us. We adjust volume, lighting, space, and pacing in real time. You’re not expected to power through.
