Concordia Conservatory offers private lessons for a six-week session in piano, voice, guitar (acoustic, bass, and electric), violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone. Lessons will be 30, 45, or 60 minutes in length and are open to children and adults. Students can register for as few as one or as many as six lessons. Due to this shorter commitment, the summer private instruction is an ideal time for students new to the Conservatory or for a current student to enjoy music instruction throughout the summer.
An interview is required for first-time students to determine teacher placement. When scheduling, if a mutually convenient lesson time and day cannot be agreed upon, the lesson fees will be fully refunded. Lessons will start being scheduled the first week of June. Students are scheduled in the order of receipt of the registration form and payment in the Conservatory office.
