Lesson Observation and Family Meeting
If you are interested in pursuing instrumental study for your child, please complete the Prospective Student Application. As signing up for private lessons is typically a year-long commitment, all interested families will set up a phone call with our Program Director to discuss the requirements of our instrumental program. Following the phone call, you may be invited to a family meeting meet with our Instrumental Department Head. The family meeting is a chance for the child to play a bit on each instrument (violin, viola, cello, flute and piano) and to discuss the child’s and parents’ readiness for private lessons. Parents have the opportunity to ask questions about our program as well as questions about music study in general. There is a $35 fee for the family meeting.
Before enrolling in lessons, children and parents will also observe a private lesson to see how an instrumental lesson is structured and what the expectations are for both student and parent. Families are also welcome to observe Suzuki group classes. There is no fee for observing.
