Semi-Private Lessons
Mondays - Thursdays, variable
(Ages 10+)
$18 / lesson per student
Although most students flourish the best with one-on-one lessons, semi-private lessons can be a great starting point for 2-3 students starting at the same level. Siblings that want to try out an instrument, or a few students working together on a specific piece of music could benefit from coming at the same time. Please contact me for more information.
Semi-Private lessons not available for all instruments.
