Private Music Instruction

The Cape Cod Conservatory offers private instruction in all musical instrument groups and voice. Our faculty is unsurpassed in quantity and quality; many of them perform with the Cape Cod Symphony and other nationally recognized groups. We continue to add outstanding teachers from the Boston area so that you don’t have to drive there. This approach provides a wide range of options to suit a student’s skill level and goals. For 16 weeks of private lessons:

One-hour lessons: $880
45-minute lessons: $660
30-minute lessons: $440

Length and frequency of lessons are determined by the teacher and student. Some teachers have higher rates.

Students enrolled in private lessons have the opportunity to participate in workshops and recitals throughout the year.  An optional technical evaluation takes place mid-year and a final evaluation is held in the spring.  Final recitals and certificates of accomplishment mark the closing of each year.

String Ensemble with Maestro Bo Ericsson

Intermediate (and above) string players are warmly welcomed to join the Conservatory's String Ensemble.  This group rehearses on Monday nights 5:30 - 7:00. 

The repertoire includes baroque, Renaissance and contemporary selections.  Thanks to a grant from the Cape Cod Melody Tent, the group has an emphasis on public performances.

The String Ensemble follows in the heritage of the Conservatory Orchestra, which Joshua Bell proudly has in his resume.
