Private Lessons with our faculty

Availability | Rates | Payment | Cancellations

Private lessons offer a more individualized approach to music instruction. They are tailored specifically to your skill level and area of interest and are scheduled individually at a time convenient for both you and your teacher. Private lessons are available with most of our faculty. We have teachers for children, adults, beginners and experienced players alike.

All lessons are taught at Swallow Hill (71 E. Yale Avenue in Denver), and all scheduling is done through our main office at (303) 777-1003.

Weekly Lessons students sign up for a regular time slot, and we will reserve that time slot for you unless you notify us in advance of an absence. Weekly students have first priority for time slots. A La Carte Lessons offer more flexibility, and may be scheduled during time slots which are not reserved. Some teachers offer every other week lessons.

Payment

All lessons must be paid for in advance. For weekly students, payment for the month is due by the first day of that month (weekly students may set up an automatic credit card charge arrangement). If payment is not received by the end of the month, a late fee will be charged. A La Carte lessons cannot be scheduled without payment.
