Private Lessons
Private instruction is the foundation of a sound musical education. At NEC Prep, the depth and expertise of our faculty assure a great match for our students' individual needs. Private lessons of 30, 45, and 60 minutes are offered for students of all levels (including beginners!).
A unique feature of our private lesson program is that it includes the opportunity to participate in evaluations and our annual concerto competition, which give every student valuable performance experience and feedback from a variety of teachers.
Prospective students must set up a placement. Private lessons can begin at any time during the school year. Please email prepplacements@necmusic.edu for more information.
