Instructors
The Community School program includes college professors and community instructors. Instructors are required to have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in music, and most have graduate degrees in music. Occasionally the music department will approve a college student to teach for our program, providing that they meet the department’s requirements. Please contact us for information about specific instructors.

Each instructor sets his/her own rate. Please contact us for specific fees. There is a one-time registration fee of $10.00 for all new students.
