Individual instruction through private lessons is the foundation of a music education. The Music School offers traditional private lessons on all instruments and private Suzuki lessons for all ages. After an initial consultation with the Education Department, the student is matched with a faculty member whose teaching style most closely complements the student’s learning style. The faculty member, based on the student’s goals and levels of accomplishment, determines the exact program of study.
