PRIVATE LESSONS SCHEDULE
ONLY WEDNESDAY & SATURDAY
You'll receive one on one attention that will really speed your skills toward meeting your goal. Students who take private lessons often improve more rapidly and develop confidence more quickly with intensive, individual instruction. Move from a beginner to full mastery of your chosen instrument. These lessons are geared toward your individual needs.
Tuition is not prorated to reflect missed lessons. A missed lesson is considered a forfeited lesson without contact to the school. Upon enrollment, your child's class space and lesson time are reserved whether he/she is present or not. If the teacher missed the lesson it will be rescheduled or credited.
