From 1:00 to 2:15 pm, students in grades PreK-5 can explore our First Instruments program. These classes are designed to prepare children for private lessons in piano, strings, guitar, winds, brass, and percussion. Meet our instructors, participate in sample activities, and get answers to your questions.
Following that, from 2:15 to 3:00 pm, students in grades PreK-12 and adults interested in private lessons can sign up for 15-minute mini-lessons. This is a great opportunity to meet our Hoff-Barthelson faculty members and experience firsthand what private instruction is all about.
