Private Music Lesson Fees

The Academy of Music has three categories of music teachers and corresponding lesson fees.

Academy teachers number approximately 50; most of them hold advanced degrees, certificates or diplomas in music education or pedagogy. In addition to teaching, many maintain active performance careers.

Lawrence University Conservatory of Music faculty members teach, by audition only, a number of highly motivated and accomplished students.

Approximately 20 conservatory students offer private lessons and are supervised by the Academy. Student teachers are recommended by conservatory faculty and have successfully completed a rigorous pedagogy class.

Price per lesson	30-minute	45-minute	60 minute
Academy teacher	$26	$37	$48
Conservatory faculty*	$31.50	$45.75	$60
Student teacher*	$18.50	$26.25	$34

In order to process a registration for music instruction, an annual non-refundable registration fee of $12 per student must be received with the first tuition payment in the fall. All students enrolling in the fall semester are registered for the full school year and will be billed for the second semester in late fall. Lessons are billed by semester and payable in advance of the semester, or in installments with a fee of $8.

*Lawrence Universtiy operates on a three-term schedule beginning in late September. Private lesson schedules with either Conservatory of Music faculty, by audition only, or student teachers will be mutually established between teacher and student and billed on a prorated basis.
