The Eastman School of Music offers ‘secondary lessons’ to students at the River Campus who have previously studied an instrument or voice and are prepared at a minimum of an intermediate level of performance achievement; beginning instruction in individual lessons is not offered for college credit. The Satz Department of Music does offer introductory courses in piano and classical guitar. Introductory lessons are also available through the Eastman Community Music School, though these do not earn college credit and do carry an additional charge, separate from your University tuition.
Secondary lessons at Eastman are taught by graduate Teaching Assistants who have been selected for this assignment by the performance departments at Eastman. TAs are mentored by their Eastman faculty and are managed by the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies.
To express interest in secondary lessons and receive audition information, fill out the Eastman Lessons Interest Form. Registration is by permission only. Eligible students will receive instructions for making and sharing an audition video.
For more information, including audition repertoire requirements, visit the Satz Department Lessons Page.
Whether or not you enroll in lessons at Eastman, we hope to see you on our campus for concerts and events this season!
