Private Music Lessons

Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced musician, our experienced instructors tailor lessons to your skill level, creating a supportive atmosphere that fosters success!

Private lessons are scheduled once a week for 30 minutes of one-on-one instruction. Students are invited to bring their scale or rhythm assignments from school or any ensemble pieces to work on during their lessons.

‍Students must have their own instrument for lessons except for on-site piano lessons. However, piano students should have a piano or keyboard at home for practice. Students should commit to practicing beyond scheduled lessons to develop muscle memory. Consistent lessons, practice and performance opportunities contribute to musical growth.

Registration

Continuing students will receive a registration code from an instructor and can register in person or by phone. New students should email culturalarts@parkfun.com with the subject line “Bravo Music Academy: New Student.” Please include the student’s age, instrument and main contact phone number and we will respond to your submission (please check your spam/junk folder for responses).

For class fees and dates, please view our program guide. Please note that no credits or refunds are given for missed lessons.
