INDIVIDUAL & GROUP INSTRUCTION FOR ALL AGES

 INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION
for children and adults of all levels of skill

Individual Instruction is at the heart of Hochstein's comprehensive program and is the most effective way to make significant progress in musical skills. Following an orientation meeting with one of our Deans, students are matched with an appropriate teacher who tailors instruction to best fit each student's needs and goals. Lessons are available in all orchestral instruments-as well as piano, harp, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, percussion, and Suzuki violin, viola, cello and flute-and can be scheduled on weekdays, evenings, and Saturdays.

Because a certain degree of physical development is essential to playing an instrument, Hochstein subscribes to the following minimum age requirements:
    Guitar, age 5
    Harp, age 9 (some prior piano study preferred)
    Percussion, age 9
    Piano, private, age 5
    Piano, group, age 4
    Suzuki strings, age 3
    Voice, age 12
    Wind instruments, age 9
 
Acoustic piano in the home required for all piano lessons.

FEES: for Individual Instruction (unless otherwise noted)
All private lessons are arranged by appointment with the Dean’s Office. (See Walk–in Registration information.) All students pay a non–refundable $8 registration fee (maximum 2 fees per family). For children enrolled in private lessons, families pay a reduced fee for either one Music FUNdamentals or one Children’s Dance class, and reduced fees for Music Theory courses. Adults qualify for reduced fees for some Workshops, Ensembles, Music Theory, and Dance.
   
Private Lessons
$25*        30 minute lesson
$36*   45 minute lesson
$46*        1 hour lesson

Students requiring tuition assistance in order to enroll in any program at Hochstein may apply for the sliding fee scale through the Dean’s Office.
