ASU MUSIC CONSERVATORY PROGRAM

PRIVATE LESSONS

The ASU Conservatory Program offers Private Instruction in all the standard performance areas, including

• Piano & Organ

• Strings (violin, viola, violoncello, doublebass, guitar, mandolin, banjo)
• Woodwinds (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, recorder)
• Brass (trumpet, horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba)
• Percussion (drumset, mallet instruments, timpani, etc.)

Scheduling private lessons with a Conservatory Program teacher

• Contact the Conservatory Office by phone, (706) 731-7971, or e-mail, consprog@aug.edu, to request a referral for an instructor.
• A referral will be made by e-mail or telephone giving the contact information for an instructor.       
• Call the teacher to discuss what you would like to achieve in the lessons, and to see whether you can arrange a lesson time that will work for both you and the teacher.
• Once you have established a lesson time with one of the teachers, you should fill out a registration form and return it to the Conservatory Office along with the tuition.
• If the teacher is unable to take a new student, or you cannot find a workable lesson time, please contact the Conservatory Office again to see whether another teacher reference is available.

Payment Procedures

• The Conservatory Program accepts personal checks, credit cards (Visa or Master Card only), money orders or cash.
• A completed registration form must accompany payment for lessons.  Registration forms can be found in the display case in the lobby of the ASU Music Department, or can be printed from this website (see “Registration Form for Classes, Lessons, and Ensembles” below).
• We normally suggest that you should register for a minimum of six lessons at a time, although any number of lessons is possible.  There is a considerable extra charge imposed for registrations of just one or two lessons, whereas the price per lesson decreases slightly as the number of lessons increases.
• It is not yet possible to pay for private lesson registrations using our online payment process.  It is possible, however, if you have the necessary software, to access and fill out the Registration Form found in this website, and to email that form, containing credit card information, back to the Conservatory Program office.
• Make all checks payable to “ASU Conservatory.”  Payments (accompanied by a Registration form) may be deposited in the Drop Box in the lobby of the Music Building on the ASU Campus, or they may be mailed to:

Tuition Rates:  There are two tuition rates for private instruction, depending on the teacher’s rank:

Instructors represent the core teaching faculty of the Conservatory Program. They are all carefully selected college music graduates (many with masters degrees or doctorates) who have exhibited excellent qualifications in their education, performance abilities and teaching experience.

Master Teachers are Augusta State University faculty members with completed doctoral degrees or national performance careers in their performance areas. They teach privately for the Conservatory Program as their schedules permit. Consequently, availability is limited and auditions may be required.

The chart below specifies the exact cost, including the required processing fee, for every possible number of lessons, for 30-, 45-, and 60-minute lessons, and for either Instructors or Master Teachers.

Most registrations will be for four, six, eight, or ten lessons, although it is possible to register for other amounts as well, as shown on the chart below. Each registration for a set of lessons is a contract between the student and the Conservatory Program.

Please Note:

A registration form must be included with payment for each class or ensemble and for every set of lessons. This is to ensure correct registration information.  The first registration for any person in any Conservatory program must be filled out completely.  Subsequent registration forms really need only the student’s name, the teacher’s name, any changes in telephone, mailing address, or email information, and the relevant payment information, since we should already have the unchanged information in our computer database.
