Private Lessons

Please see the Music Lesson page for more information on lessons offered.

In order to finalize your registration for private music lessons, the Music Lesson Form must be filled out and submitted to Carole Engel. Be sure to include all information to help us schedule your lesson-- include registered classes, waitlisted classes, work schedules, sports, etc.

Students interested in strings (5+ years of private study), piano (4+ years of private study) or voice need to audition. Students with fewer than 5 years of string experience or fewer than 4 years of piano experience may sign up for 2-credit lessons (Music 155 or 150 corespondingly) without a placement audition.

The comprehensive fee of Carleton does not include the cost of private lessons, and special fees are charged as described here. Students interested in requesting financial assistance to help with music lessons need to complete this form.
