Community Music School — Private Lessons

2024 Summer Session

Private Lessons

Private lessons include a comprehensive mix of repertoire, technique, music theory, musicianship activities, and creative work suitable for the participant’s level. 

During the 2024 Summer Session we will offer private lessons for clarinet, flute, percussion, piano, saxophone and voice.


Private lesson day/time/location will be arranged by the Community Music School Manager at the instructor and participant's convenience after receipt of registration and tuition payment. Registration and payment must be completed before a participant can attend lessons. Teachers do not handle registration fees or forms, so make sure you are in communication with the Community Music School Manager.

Administrative fees cover the cost of administration, registration, instructor background checks, recital costs, etc. Charging this fee, including the discounted version for families with multiple student enrolled, allows us to set the per lesson fee at a competitive market rate.
