Lesson Schedule
Consistent instruction and practice are the key to impactful and enjoyable learning, but we also believe in breaks now and then. The lessons are divided into three trimesters each with 10 weeks of lessons. Lessons are given on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. There are 5 weeks within the teaching year where no lessons are given.
All trimesters have 10 lessons per trimester except the 3rd trimester has one extra bonus lesson for spring recital prep.
