Private Lessons

Every registration in a section of MUS private lessons earns one (1) credit hour. A course fee of $315 will be applied to each lesson enrollment, and VAPA-Music will pay your instructor for you. Students may register for more than one section of MUS private lessons during a given semester, as long as the registrations are with different faculty and different instruments.

You must arrange with your instructor to complete ten (10) hours of lesson time over the course of the semester. You and your instructor may set a schedule that is most convenient for both of you.

1. Review the list of music faculty at the VAPA Music Faculty Page.
2. Contact one of the following Music Program Coordinators, indicating the type of lessons you'd like to take and your preferred instructor (optional):
   • VOICE LESSONS: Contact Solveig Olsen, solsen@uccs.edu
   • INSTRUMENTAL LESSONS: Contact Jon Forshee, jforshee@uccs.edu
   • COMPOSITION LESSONS (including audio engineering, music production and film scoring): Complete the online form for Music Composition Lessons; e-mail Yvonne Wu with any questions, ywu@uccs.edu
3. Once your request for lessons is approved, you will receive an e-mail from the Music Program, which will include course information and a unique permission number to use when you register.
4. Please note: Private Music Lessons are subject to the same withdrawal/refund policies as any other full-semester course.
