Students of all ages and abilities are welcome! If you are new to an instrument, our instructors will help you develop your musical skills. If you are an experienced musician, our instructors will help you excel. 

Weekly private lessons in various instruments are offered after school and in the evenings from September through May. Please indicate your preferred day and time. Individual lesson times will be confirmed by the 1st week of September.
