Cassandra Strings Lessons

Private Lessons

Learning an instrument can be challenging, but one way to learn or even improve is through one-on-one private lessons. Lessons are where you can increase your technical skills, gain the needed knowledge of the music, and get a little motivation. Here, we have provided a list of teachers in our communityĀ and their contact info.

Ā 

Teaching a lesson
We ask that any student who wants to start or continue lessons contact the teacher directly, where they can set up virtualĀ or in-home lessons. Please note this listing of music teachers does not imply recommendation or endorsement by us, and you agree to take full responsibility for any relationship you establish with anyone found as a result of using this list.

If you are a teacher and would like to be added to our directory below, please follow the sign-up process on this link with your info, background, and desired age and skill levels forĀ lesson students. We will reach out to you shortly.
