Whether you are embarking on your musical journey or are an accomplished musician, we are dedicated to supporting your growth. Beginners will establish a robust foundation, while advanced players will have the opportunity to enhance their skills and achieve new milestones.

Weekly private lessons in piano and 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.
