Private Music Lessons

Whole Life Music School offers welcoming, individualized music instruction for children, teens, and adults of all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time, returning to music after years away, or looking to advance your skills, our instructors meet each student where they are and help them grow with confidence.

Instruments & Areas of Study

Private instruction is available in:

  • Voice
  • Piano
  • Guitar
  • Bass
  • Banjo
  • Mountain Dulcimer
  • Band Instruments

Lessons are offered in person in either 30-minute or 60-minute weekly sessions.

What Lessons Include

Students receive individualized weekly instruction designed around their age, experience, interests, and musical goals. Lessons may incorporate technique, music reading, ear training, musicianship, repertoire, performance skills, and music theory as appropriate to the student and instrument.

Pedagogy and method books are provided as part of instruction.

Music grows through what happens both inside and outside the lesson. Students are expected to practice at home and log at least three practice sessions between weekly lessons. Our goal is to help students develop a consistent, positive relationship with practicing rather than simply preparing for the next lesson.

Tuition

30-Minute Weekly Lessons — $120/month
60-Minute Weekly Lessons — $240/month

Tuition is paid at the first lesson of each month.

As part of Whole Life Farm Arts & Music Foundation’s mission, our private lesson program helps provide accessible, high-quality music education within our community.

Attendance & Rescheduling

Because each student has a dedicated weekly lesson time, at least 24 hours’ notice is required to qualify for a make-up lesson.

When proper notice is provided, the missed lesson may be rescheduled during the designated make-up day/time offered for that month. Missed lessons without 24 hours’ notice are not eligible for a make-up lesson.

For complete attendance, payment, and lesson policies, please see our Private Lesson Policies.

Performance Opportunities

Private lesson students have the opportunity to participate in seasonal student recitals throughout the year, including:

  • October Recital
  • December/Holiday Recital
  • Spring Recital

Recitals give students a supportive setting to share what they have been learning, develop confidence on stage, set meaningful musical goals, and celebrate their progress with family, friends, and our music school community.

Participation in recitals is encouraged as part of each student’s musical development.
