Remote/Online Private Lessons

In-person instruction is a proven method for delivering effective private music lessons. However, in today's ever-changing environment, the need for remote/distance learning options is critical and, with continuously improving technology, the ability to administer effective remote private lessons is easier than ever before.

Current Students

Current students have the option to talk with their private lesson teacher and decide the platform that will work best for them. We have seen success recently with teachers using Zoom, FaceTime, Google Duo and other distance learning apps and web sites.
