Private
Lessons
Students who are accepted
in a faculty-led program (chorale, chamber singers, orchestra, piano
study) can take partially-subsidized private lessons for one-half
graded credit per semester with any teacher in the Greater Philadelphia
area whose credentials are approved by the department of music.
Students must take 10 lessons a semester and perform for a jury
to qualify for both credit and subsidy. A roster of excellent teachers
who are already approved for study and teach on campus are listed
below, many of whom are associated with the Curtis Institute, Temple
University, and perform with major musical organizations in the
city.
Lessons usually cost
between $50-$65 an hour. Subsidies are between $100 - $250 per semester
depending on student involvement in the program (Music Majors/Minors
receive more subsidy).
- Setting up private
lessons:
Students must audition for and be accepted into Chorale, Chamber
Singers, Orchestra, or Piano Study to be eligible for taking lessons
for credit and partial subsidy.
- If you already know
the teacher you wish to study with, call them at the number on
the attached list to arrange lessons as soon as possible.
- If you’re not
sure which teacher to study with, you may speak with Prof. Lloyd
(voice), Prof. Jacob (instrumental), or Prof. Cacioppo (piano)
or call the teachers on the list to arrange to meet with one or
more teachers with whom you think you might want to study.
- Fill out the form
for lessons and subsidy and submit it to Music Office by the end
of the second week of classes in each semester. These forms will
be available at the first Chorale/Chamber Singers/Orchestra rehearsals.
- Register for private
study (vocal: H 209 C/F 01, instrumental: H 208 C/F 01, piano:
H 210 C/F 01) through the normal registration process. The music
department cannot register for you.
