Private Lessons

Private lessons are the center of our program and are offered for three 12-week trimesters during the school year and a summer session. Lessons can begin at any time during the year and can be arranged for 30, 45, or 60 minutes each week. Enrollment reserves your instructor’s time at that specific time period each week.

Registration is first come, first served, and tuition/fees must be paid in advance to reserve a lesson time. By registering for lessons, you are agreeing to abide by all policies and adhere to payment deadlines (links below).

At the end of each trimester, you are automatically enrolled into the next trimester and emailed an invoice for tuition payment. Provided payment is up to date, your lesson time will be reserved for the entire school year. Automatic enrollment ends at the conclusion of the school year.

You must re-register to enroll in the summer session and the next school year.

School year registration opens July 26, 2021. Register and enroll online, over the phone, or in person. To enroll in 45- or 60-minute lessons, please call the office.
