How do I enroll in music lessons?

The first step of enrollment at Music in Chappaqua is to discuss the individual student’s goals, interest, learning style, experience and availability. This can be in person, by phone, by email, or expressed when you fill out the new student form. After the ideal teacher is selected for your student, an initial lesson will be arranged.


What happens in the initial lesson?

During the initial lesson, the student will meet their teacher and get a sense of what the lessons entail. The teacher will evaluate the student in order to determine a proper lesson length and create an individualized course of study. This lesson is subject to the same hourly rate as regularly scheduled lessons are.


The initial lesson went well, now what?

After the initial lesson has been completed and a suitable teacher-student relationship has been established, the student may enroll for regularly scheduled weekly or twice-weekly lessons.
