Mason Gross Extension Division private music instruction for students of all ages & stages
About Private Music Instruction (ages 4- adult)
Individual instruction with our faculty of world-class, conservatory-trained musicians is available in 30-, 45-, and 60-minute sessions in all instruments and voice. Please visit our faculty & staff webpage to view faculty biographies and related information.
Many of the classical music faculty of the Extension Division utilize The Royal Conservatory Music Development Program (RCMDP) or Associated Boards of Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) syllabi. Students (even adults!) are encouraged to discuss these curriculae with instructors and consider participating in RCMDP or ABRSM examinations, as they provide a truly outstanding means of focusing your efforts on achievable and sustainable progress.
To request placement in our private lesson program, new students should submit a Private Lesson Inquiry Form. Our office will evaluate your request and respond to you via phone and/or email within two (2) business days. Of course, feel free to contact us directly (848-932-8618, extdiv.office@mgsa.rutgers.edu) to ask questions or to learn more about our private lesson options.
Each student’s musical and personal needs are taken into consideration during the placement process. Student needs, and instructor teaching styles vary considerably. To facilitate the best possible lesson placement, all new students and students changing instructors must first schedule a 30- 45- or 60-minute trial lesson.
