Private Lessons

Private lessons are the most individualized approach to music study.  Each private instructor will help you determine lesson length and frequency, as well as which books and/or supplemental materials should be used.

All of our instructors are highly qualified, trained musicians with many years of experience teaching private lessons.  Through careful screening, we select instructors who will provide you the best learning experience possible.  We also do background checks, in order to ensure the safety of you and your child.  

Most beginning piano students will start with either a preschool music class or a Group Lesson.  But private lessons are available for beginners, as well.  Students are evaluated at the end of their group piano class to determine whether, or not, they should continue with private lessons.  

Each instructor sets their own tuition rates and manages their own schedule.   I encourage you to take a moment to read the bio for the instructor(s) available for the instrument of your choice to get the most accurate information on pricing and availability for private lessons.   Click here for instructor info.

Instrument Requirements: Piano students must have a piano at home for daily practice before beginning lessons. A well-tuned acoustic piano is preferable, but a digital piano with 88 weighted, touch-sensitive keys is acceptable for the first two years. Please discuss the requirements with Mrs. Brown before making your purchase.

All instrumental students must have their own instrument for use in lessons and for daily practice at home. If you do not yet own one, instructors can advise you on what to buy when you meet with them prior to lessons.
