Music lessons are offered at the School of Music to students in Yale College, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the Professional Schools.
Members of the Yale and New Haven communities who are not registered students and wish to hire a School of Music student can submit a request here.
Instruction is available in the following areas: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, Percussion, Harp, Piano, Organ, Guitar, Voice, Violin, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass.
Students interested in Composition, Choral Conducting, and Orchestral Conducting will find classes in the Department of Music and in the School of Music offered each academic semester.
Most students will receive instruction from graduate students enrolled in the School of Music, and some will study with members of the School of Music Faculty.
Students are enrolled in lessons in one of two ways: (1) Lessons for Credit or (2) Non-credit lessons for a fee. Lessons for credit are offered with faculty approval only, and certain undergraduate theory prerequisites apply. Please note that teaching arrangements are made in the Fall semester and apply for both Fall and Spring semesters.
