​Class Structure
Individuals can take the "Prelude" class to see if learning a musical instrument is right for them. After completing the "Prelude" class, they can either move on to the "Intermezzo" class or transition into one-on-one lessons. Upon finishing the "Intermezzo" class, students will have the opportunity to advance to the "Aria" class. From there, they can continue their journey by joining the Studio Adult Ensemble.
​​
The in-person instrument classes are capped at 12 students to make sure each student is receiving adequate attention from the instructor. Virtual classes will be held over zoom, and will be capped 20 students.
