Private lessons are offered to students ages 6+, however, younger students may be allowed upon consultation with an instructor.

The goal of private instruction is to create a unique learning environment for each individual  while focusing on developing a healthy physical technique. Every student has their own natural abilities, and it is the instructor's job to highlight those abilities while also identifying areas that could need improvement. The first and foremost task is to develop an environment of trust between the student and teacher, afterwhich the student will begin developing confidence and independence.

Parents are encouraged to attend their child’s lessons to maintain transparency of the process of growth. Here at the Indiana Conservatory of Music, we pride ourselves on the quality of our instruction and the expertise of our instructors.

Duration of lessons range from 30 minutes to 60 minutes, however, because of the level of focus in lessons, it is best to begin at 30 minute-length lessons and gradually build up in duration.
