Should I select group classes or private lessons?

Students are welcome to start their musical studies with a private instructor. When possible, the Academy recommends that beginners start with specific music classes before progressing to Private Lessons.

We offer multi-level beginner and intermediate group classes for young students and adults in piano, violin, and guitar. We also offer group classes in special topics for current private lesson students seeking to supplement their studies. Most teachers recommend for voice students to begin private lessons once a student’s voice is fully developed after puberty.

Spring 2024 Registration is closed, however, Summer 2024 Registration is now open!
