Through the Basie Center’s Monmouth Conservatory, esteemed faculty develop individualized curricula to meet the interests and needs of each student.  

Private lessons are a commitment to your continued music education. After trial lessons (if any) are completed, participants commit to and register by semesters in 18-week increments. 

Students are matched with instructors based on many factors, not limited to instrument request, skill-level, and availability.

The Basie Academy of the Arts schedules private lessons by factoring in the availability of both the instructor and student, and strives to facilitate a mutually agreed upon time best for all parties. 

The Basie Academy of the Arts has a lead time of at least three to five business days from each request to schedule a trial lesson.

Trial lessons or lesson packages need to be registered for at least three days of receiving your personal registration link to hold the arranged date and time.
