Individual Lessons
Individual lessons give you one-on-one time with one of UVMC’s expert faculty, but in the Individual Lesson Program, the lesson is just the beginning. In addition to your weekly lesson, you receive access to:
- Studio Recitals with piano accompaniment (includes 30 minute rehearsal for each performance; additional time may be purchased for lessons or coachings in between lessons)
- Musical Round Tables (small performance gatherings for adults with conversation and food)
- Free Theory Classes (Register for any of UVMC’s theory classes at no additional cost, subject to appropriate level)
- Special Events: Holiday Music Festival, Sing & Play
- Group performance classes are available for select instruments and voice – students enrolled in lessons receive a discount on enrollment
- Students enrolled in Lesson Programs can receive a discount for enrolling in certain group classes and ensembles
- UVMC occasionally hosts guest artists for master classes and workshops, and students enrolled in lessons sometimes have the special opportunity to perform in master classes and/or work with guest artists in workshops
- And most importantly: you become part of a community of music makers of all ages and levels!
Students are encouraged to participate in performance classes, chamber music, chorus, or orchestra to develop musical teamwork skills (and also for the fun of making new musical friends – for both children and adults).

Mini-Group Lessons
Mini-group lessons include two or three students in a weekly lesson with one faculty member. In mini-groups, teachers may alternate between group activities and teaching each student individually, and students may work on duets or other collaborative music-making. Mini-groups feature more individual attention than a group class, while still offering the benefits of learning alongside peers.
The process to inquire about mini-group lessons is the same as for individual lessons (see above). When submitting a lesson inquiry, please be sure to indicate you are interested in mini-group lessons, and include information for both or all students.
