Private Lessons :

The teVelde School of Music offers private, music lessons that are customized towards each student's personal learning style. This makes learning music easy and fun! Over 60 teachers are interviewed to find just one. We have the most effective, excited, motivated, and highly qualified teachers available. It isn't enough to just play an instrument well to be a good teacher. Our teachers have the added quality of loving the learning/teaching process. Each one teaches because they love the process of sharing their gift with a student. Click on the link to to the left that corresponds with the student's age.

Group Classes:

We offer group lessons for students who want a less expensive method of learning, while still having the opportunity to study music with an excellent teacher. We pair students with others of the same personality type and learning styles. We group according to age, instrument, and type of music they want to study. This results in dynamic classes that are fun and educational! Friends can request that they be put in the same class. Click on this link to find out more: Group Classes

Note to All Students, Grades 4-12

Summer Camp, 2010

We are hosting an incredibly fun summer camp this year that will introduce students to Piano/Keyboard, Guitar/Bass, Drums, Voice, and Recording. This is a perfect opportunity for new students to try several instruments before deciding what they want to study. It is also a great opportunity for experienced musicians to try several other instruments, and learn how to use professional recording equipment. There will even be a composing camp for students who have always wanted to learn how to write a song! All students will leave camp with a CD of the song they have created by themselves!
