Registration for Fall 2024 private lessons is still open.
Our registration team is here to help field inquiries and answer any questions you may have about our course and lesson offerings or teachers, and to help find the right fit for every student!
Private Lesson Registration
Private lessons in all major instruments are offered by annual registration on a 32-week calendar year. Adult private lesson students (18 and up) have the option to register in two 16-week semesters. Learn about our faculty here.
- Create a registration account (new students/families only).
- Call to register at 718-622-3300.
Students who want to be sure that private lessons are the right fit or want to try out a specific teacher, have the option to enroll and pay for a single trial lesson before committing to the full term. Trial lessons are scheduled for the next available lesson day for the cost of a single lesson. After the trial lesson, students have 24 hours to contact our registration team to enroll for the full term. If registration is not confirmed within 24 hours, the lesson time will be released. Registrars will work with you to set a trial lesson time that works for your regular schedule. Payment is required to complete registration.
Once a trial lesson is booked, it can be rescheduled or refunded with 24 hours notice prior to the trial lesson occurring. Same day cancellations or missed trial lessons are non refundable. Students may take as many trial lessons as they would like; however, you may only book one trial lesson per teacher. There are no trials for group classes or ensembles, and we do not offer trial lessons during the summer semester.
Group Classes & Ensembles Registration
Group classes and ensembles are registered annually or by semester. Learn more and find a class here.
