Lessons

A full season, not a stack of appointments.

Thirty-five lessons from August to June. Group sessions two or three times a month. Three recitals and a performance calendar on top of that.

Also taught here

Students stay with the same teacher from their first lesson through advanced repertoire, which is how a beginner at five turns into a player at fifteen without ever starting over with somebody new.

How lessons are structured

• Private lessons

  One student and one teacher, thirty-five times across the school year.

• Group lessons

  Two or three times a month, students play together and learn a great deal from one another.

• How to perform

  Performing is taught here rather than left to chance. Students learn how to walk on, how to bow, how to begin, and what to do if something goes wrong.

• Music theory

  How music is put together, learned alongside playing it rather than kept as a separate subject.

• Composer study

  Students learn who wrote the music they are playing, when it was written, and how the world was different during that time.
