Lesson Details:

Private Lessons: September-May

Keynote School of Music offers private lesson options of 30 minute, 45 minute or one hour weekly.  Once a student has a lesson time scheduled, that day and time are reserved with the same teacher each week.  There are two “Sessions” of 16 weeks: Fall and Winter.  Each Session has occasional breaks for holidays.  For those who choose 45 minute or one hour lessons, computer theory and other technology is available during the lesson time, planned and supervised by the private teacher.

Some teachers also include optional 60-minute TEAM lessons in place of (or in addition to) their private lesson schedule.  This “Time for Enrichment Activities in Music” group activity offers students a chance to learn and play with other students and teachers.  TEAM lessons are optional and are arranged by each independent teacher.

Adults may take alternate-week lessons if another adult can be scheduled on the same lesson day and time.  Adults may also choose to “pay as you go” and schedule lessons on a week-by-week basis, but the lesson day and time may vary based on the teacher’s availability. 

For new students only, a five-lesson package is available to try out lessons. This is only available in September and January.  Following the trial lessons, the student must decide whether to continue by reserving a lesson time for the remainder of the Session.

Those who enroll for lessons mid-Session will have the cost of lessons prorated for the balance of the Session.
