WHAT IS A PRIVATE MUSIC LESSON?

A lesson is a one-on-one opportunity for you to receive expert advice and guidance. You'll meet weekly, or as you and your instructor decide, for each lesson, and prepare assignments and activities. People who study an instrument or music privately gain tools and skills at a faster rate, and make greater connections to develop their presonal strengths. 

WHY TAKE PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS THROUGH ¹ú²ú¶ÌÊÓƵCMP?

Our faculty specialize on the instruments they teach. That means they are experts who actively perform and teach on their instrument or subject area, and have extensive training and experience on the very same instruments and subjects you study. Plus, unlike the competitive process of being a music major at USF, ¹ú²ú¶ÌÊÓƵCommunity Music Project lessons do not require an audition. Everyone may study with our world-class faculty and approved and vetted music majors!

Private lessons are available for all band and orchestra instruments, plus guitar, ukulele, voice, piano, pop piano, jazz piano, anime piano arranging,  jazz saxophone, composition, jazz composition, theory, conducting, rapping, beatmaking, and more.
