Private lessons are the foundation of a musical education, providing the concentrated work and individual attention needed to develop a student’s skills and enthusiasm. CCMC offers private lessons for students of composition and for the following instruments: violin, viola, cello, double bass, piano, flute, recorder, and guitar.

CCMC private lesson faculty members are selected from among the area’s finest musicians and music educators to provide a focused, supportive, and well- rounded musical education for every ability level. (See faculty roster.)

Students are matched with a teacher following a placement interview with the CCMC director. Teacher-student placements take into account playing level, personality, and schedule. Semi-private instruction is available for pre-formed pairs of students of a similar playing level.

Private and semi-private lessons are offered in 17-week sessions. Students may register at any time during the year, and tuition will be prorated accordingly. Private lesson tuition includes weekly lessons and opportunities to participate in CCMC student recitals and master classes. Private lesson students receive a 25% discount on tuition for CCMC chamber ensembles and musicianship classes.
