The Conservatory’s most popular offerings are Private Lessons.
Regardless of your age, level, or instrument, we can find you a teacher that will inspire you to unleash your creativity. With more than 50 experienced and highly accomplished music faculty members, the Conservatory will have you playing and singing your best in no time!
Lessons run for 36 weeks throughout the school year, starting in September and ending in June. Some select classes are divided into fall and winter terms and we also offer summer lessons and camps.
Students who begin private classes at the Maritime Conservatory of Performing Arts at the start of the school year enroll for 18 teaching weeks for the fall term and then re-enroll for an additional 18 weeks for the winter term. Students who join after the start of the term enroll for the remaining weeks in the term. Some of our students register for a full year of classes.
Private lessons can be started as early as age 5, with Suzuki violin or cello lessons starting as early as age 4.
Private lesson rates vary according to the length of lessons and the fee for each teacher. As a guideline our half hour lesson rate can be as low as $37. A lesson time must be agreed to with a specific teacher. The office can arrange contact with your preferred instructor or help you select a teacher.
