Individual Music Instruction
Our music department offers private lessons for students of all ages on violin, viola, cello, piano and guitar. Depending on age and achievement level, students will sign up for a weekly 30, 45 or 60-minute lesson. One parent is required to attend all private lessons and help the child practice at home. Private violin and guitar students are also required to attend a one-hour group class each week. An interview will be required of all families wishing to begin the private lesson program. For more information about this program, please visit the website of the Arusha Suzuki Strings Program.
