GENERAL LESSON INFORMATION:
We have seven private lesson studios in our store
located on State College Blvd. ABI offers lessons for all ages and levels from
beginner to advanced. Our lessons specialize in brass and woodwind
instruments, with instruction available for piano and violin.
Lesson rates are based on 1/2 hour private
instruction at a designated time each week. Rates will vary by instrument and
instructor, and generally cost $90-$100 per month.
Once we receive your request for lesson placement,
we will forward the information to one of our studio teachers. Within a
few days, the teacher will contact the students directly to set up lessons. At
that time, they will answer questions and verify lesson rates and scheduling.
Our studio teachers prepare students for
recitals and encourage festival performances. We find that ABI students
often become first chair players and place in regional and state honor groups. It is not unusual
for our teachers to retain their students over the course of several years, and
to have a waiting list for new students.
Since we first opened our doors in 1982, we have
promoted and maintained private teaching studios as an important part of our
identity. OK - back in 1982, it may
have been just ONE studio,
but great musicians like Wayne Bergeron and Dr. Greg Woll have continued to
teach here through
the years!
