Private lessons

Report

Our private classes are designed to fit each students learning style and musical goals. Students will learn to play a music instrument or sing in the most traditional and effective way and, at the same time, progress at their own pace. Our lessons are much more than just private instruction. The school offers students many opportunities to participate in recitals, masterclasses with world-class artists, competitions, out-of-state and out-of-country festivals and summer programs, as well as informal, student-friendly musical parties.
