Private Music Lesson Placement
At the CLSM we strive to provide each student with a positive and effective learning experience. Before scheduling private lessons, we like to speak with each student, or their parents, to help choose which teacher and lesson time will be the best fit for them based on the student’s learning style and expectations.
We believe the few minutes spent discussing the student’s needs and our school’s offerings results in a better learning experience for each of our students. Group lesson classes are also available.
