Private Lessons
About
The Community Music Academy offers weekly private lessons in violin, viola, cello, bass, and classical guitar from some of the best professional musicians and teachers in central Texas at a very affordable rate. All CMA string instructors utilize the Suzuki Method.
Students are expected to practice regularly, to bring a pencil and all assigned music to lessons, and to perform in a Solo Recital at the end of each semester in which they are registered for private lessons. Instructors may ask that parents remain present during lessons with their child.

Scheduling
Private lessons for violin, viola, cello, and guitar will be offered in person during the summer.
Lessons will be offered between June - Aug, depending on the instructor's schedule. Make sure you do not register for more lessons than your instructor can teach. Be sure to discuss this with your instructor prior to registering. Participants must register for a minimum of 4 lessons.
If you are currently in or have taken private lessons in the past, please continue lessons with the same teacher. After registration, you may contact your instructor directly to schedule specific dates and times for your lessons.
