Private Music Lessons

Private lessons are offered to students who are members of our high school performing ensembles (choral and instrumental classes). Lessons are available for piano, classical guitar, voice, organ and any band or string instrument. Lessons are generally 30 minutes in length (advanced students may sign up for a 45 or 60 minute lesson). All private music students are expected to perform in solo classes (mini-recitals). Exceptional senior students may be invited to perform in the senior recital.

• All lessons are contingent upon availability of teachers.
• Piano and classical guitar lessons are open to all students. Organ lessons are offered to piano students who are at an upper intermediate level.
• Voice Class is offered to first year voice students in grades 10-12 who have completed one year in a high school choir. Private lessons are offered to second and third year voice students who have completed Voice Class.
• Because of staff limitations, beginning lessons on band and orchestra instruments may not be available to high school students. Students who already play an instrument are encouraged to continue their studies.
• A formal grade is not given, however private lessons taught at Morrison will be recorded on the student’s high school transcript.
• Financial arrangements for private lessons are in addition to regular school tuition. Some students will be required to purchase their own music (voice, guitar, and some piano and string lessons). Early registration is recommended since teachers can only accept a limited number of students.
