Semiprivate Lessons
This format provides an economical alternative to private lessons with a class size of two (2) students.
Since they involve two students at a time, however, semiprivate lessons typically allow less attention to individual learning needs than a private lesson.
-
Semiprivate lessons are available for two years after beginning class lessons.
-
After two years students need to switch to private lessons
