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 workshops and recitals, evaluations, and our annual concerto competition, which gives every student valuable performance experience and feedback from a variety of teachers.

Prospective piano students will be placed by Hitomi Koyama, Piano Department Chair, who will advise each student regarding an appropriate studio teacher and path of study. Private lessons can begin at any time during the school year.  Please email prepplacements@necmusic.edu for more information.
