Music + Visual Art Private Lessons

Unlock the Power of Personalized Private Lessons

PMAC offers private lessons in music and art, either in person at our school or online from the comfort of your home. During weekly lessons, talented teaching artists provide focused 1:1 instruction specifically designed around your unique artistic abilities and goals.


Lessons are offered for all levels. Beginner or advanced, youth or adult—all are welcome at PMAC.

Start with a 6-Week Trial

New to PMAC or exploring a new instrument or art form? You can start at PMAC at any time with a 6-week trial! Students receive 6 weekly private lessons—30 minutes for music students, and 45 minutes for visual art students.

 

The first step is to fill out an inquiry form online. Our Lesson Coordinator will then follow up with you to find the right fit. 

Tuition & Tuition Aid

Current private lesson tuition rates can be found online here. Tuition is based off of a 17-week semester, but will be prorated based on your start date.

PMAC offers Tuition Aid for students in need. We believe every person should have access to music and arts programs, regardless of their economic status, and especially during times of crisis.
