We offer lessons in voice and piano as well as individual audition prep sessions. Our space is limited per instructor so a request must be made before the lessons can be scheduled. Audition preparations can be scheduled individually. All other lessons (voice, piano, etc) are scheduled in groups of 4 lessons at a time. Each student can sign up on a month to month or semester by semester basis.
Please fill out the contact form below to schedule lessons!
*Please be specific on time of day that you are interested in and if you are looking for 30 minute or 60 minute lessons*
