Private Music Instruction
Berean Baptist Academy rents instructional space to select private music instruction providers. All instructors support and agree with the statement of faith, mission, purpose, and values of the Academy. All instructors have passed a national background check. Berean Baptist Academy does not set the price of instruction. If you are interested in private music instruction, please contact one of our listed instructors.
We offer private lessons for first through 12th grade students. K5 students are accepted on an individual basis.
We have several independent teachers that come to the school. They each handle their own schedules, policies and fees. The average charge is a monthly fee of $75 (9 payments Sept-May). Some of the teachers may offer a 45 minute lesson for his different fee.
Unless you already have books, there will be a start up book fee(approximately $40-$50) with the possibility of an additional book or two throughout the year. Some of the teachers charge a one time, nonrefundable registration fee of $20 for new students.
It is necessary for you to have the appropriate instrument in your home so your child can practice on a regular basis. If you would like to sign your child up for music lessons, submit this form or contact the teacher of your choice for instructions.
