Private lessons encourage the growth of instrumental and vocal skills, both motor and aural, and basic music literacy. Students meet individually, usually on a weekly or bi-weekly basis with their teachers who develop individualized programs for study. NMS makes every attempt to involve students with special needs in music instruction and other programs.
Late enrollments are pro-rated.
See page 62 for registration information and page 56 for general information. In the case of faculty who teach a reduced schedule of 16 or 17 weeks, lesson costs are pro-rated. Many NMS faculty members supplement the curriculum of their studio teaching with studio workshops. Four sessions are held during each semester. Times are scheduled by individual teachers.
