Private instruction
Private lessons are the core of our program at Community Music School, and account for approximately 2/3 of our students, both children and adults.
Weekly private lessons can be arranged at any time during the year. Lessons can be 30, 45 or 60 minutes each week. For some instruments, it is possible to arrange semi-private lessons, through consultation with the Director.
If you have questions about whether your child is old enough for private instruction, a trial lesson can be set up to evaluate his or her readiness.
Lessons are supplemented by recitals and performance opportunities in the community. The many talented musicians on our faculty are experienced in working with students of all ages and abilities. We offer private instruction in...

If you would like to study an instrument that is not listed above, please let us know, as we keep lists and will be delighted to expand our program if demand warrants it.
In the Summer Term, many of our instructors continue to teach part-time. We have many “summer only” students who vacation in this area or who take lessons to keep their skills up when school is out. Summer is also a great time to try a new instrument without full-semester obligation. We can schedule as many lessons as you’d like, skipping weeks that you will be out of town.
