Individual and Group Instruction

New and Returning Music Majors:
Please contact your Applied Instructor (below) for private lessons. You must audition, schedule a lesson time, AND register for credit IMMEDIATELY once classes begin. Forfeiture of your place in their studio may occur should you not deal with this in a timely manner.

Minors/Non-majors:
Applied Lessons (one-on-one instruction) are available to all SUNY-Students. Due to limited studio size, priority is given to those students needing lessons for a degree program but non-majors may take as well if sufficient space is available and with instructor permission. Should you wish to take lessons, please contact the instructors listed below for more information. Lessons are considered an academic class and students receiving lessons MUST be registered. Students must also be registered for one of our music ensembles (Choir, Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, etc.).
