Private Music Instruction...

Why should I/my child take private music lessons?

Hands-on music instruction benefits people of all ages throughout their lives. In addition to learning to read and play music, it also promotes self-expression and creativity. For children, music instruction also provides:

• Development of motor skills
• Enhancement of academic performance especially in math and literacy skills
• Increased self-esteem
• Enhanced brain development

The Fine Arts Association offers private music instruction for all ages from pre-school through seniors. All music lessons are taught by degreed professionals in well-equipped private studios. Most piano lessons are taught and all student piano recitals are performed on Steinway pianos. All music students have the opportunity to perform in recitals on our concert stage, and are also eligible to participate in our music ensembles which perform several times a year. Investment in private music instruction benefits the child or adult for his/her entire life. Both achievement and need-based scholarships are available to music students throughout the year.

For Adapted Piano Lessons for children through adults with special learning needs, see Music Therapy.

Suzuki Instruction

In Suzuki instruction, the parent and teacher work together to nurture the child's growth as a musician. Students may start as young as 3 years old. Children and their parents are expected to attend weekly private lessons and group classes. Student recitals, play-ins and other fun events are offered throughout the year. For more information, please ask for our Suzuki brochure or log on to www.fineartsassociation.org.
