Private lessons at the Community Music School (CMS) offer students the opportunity to pursue their individual musical and artistic goals in a weekly, one-on-one setting with an experienced CMS coach. Each coach is an accomplished musician and instrumentalist, dedicated to helping students reach the next stage in their musical journey. Coaches develop a bespoke curriculum tailored to the learning style and musical experience level of each student.
Private lessons are available to students of all ages and experience levels, across a range of instruments and vocal training. Students can opt to take lessons in multiple areas—focusing on more than one instrument or vocal instruction—or even begin learning a new instrument or vocal style! From children’s first steps with an instrument to seniors expanding their knowledge of advanced harmony, CMS coaches are here to help each student unlock their full potential.
Weekly private lesson time can be used to focus on any area of musical development, such as instrumental technique, improvisation, ensemble repertoire, jazz theory, jazz harmony, composition, and post-secondary music program audition preparation.
“Master your instrument, master the music, then forget all that and just play.”
