Individual Lessons

Individual lessons are the best way to learn a new instrument or advance your musical skills. Lessons are available to children ages 8 and older as well as adult learners. Through our connection with the Stetson University School of Music, we are able to offer in-person lessons in an incredible array of instruments on Stetson's DeLand campus, including:

Piano
Guitar
Voice (for students 15 and older)
Flute
Clarinet
Saxophone
Trumpet
Trombone
French Horn
Violin
Viola
Cello

You have the option to work with a current Stetson undergraduate music student, or with a professional community teacher. Either way, you will receive excellent, personalized instruction.

Registration for our full fall set (which includes 13 half-hour lessons) will be open from August 9, 2023, through September 15, 2023. After September 15, you may register for our abbreviated lesson set (8 half-hour lessons).

If you're new to the Community Music School or have not already connected with an instructor, please contact Sarai Moore prior to registration to confirm instructor availability in your instrument or voice area.
