Build strong reading and technical skills that empower you to play the music you love. Our certified teachers provide clear guidance and steady support as you work toward your personal goals. Tuition for 30-minute private lessons is only $165 per month, plus an annual $30 membership fee, which includes:


  • Weekly lessons with a certified Hovland teacher, in‑studio or online
  • Daily online lesson videos from the author of The Conservatory Course
  • Course books that show exactly which skill is being learned and what comes next
  • Flexible lesson times
