Each instructor sets his or her criteria for accepting students. Private lessons is a Permission of Instructor course. Returning students who have previously taken Private Lessons may register for this course during the drop/add period. All students new to the Private Lessons Program must audition Thursday, January 26, 2012 through Friday, January 27, 2012 and register during the drop/add period. (Audition information is posted in the Music Department Lobby and on this website under Audition Schedule). When a student is accepted into the Private Lessons Program, they become liable for the additional cost of lessons, which will be billed through the Student Accounts Office as follows:

Private Lessons Fee: $795.00 for 12 one hour lessons
