INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION FOR ALL AGES

INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION
for children and adults of all levels of skill

Whether you’re a child or an adult, individual instruction is the most effective way to make significant progress in musical skills. Following an orientation meeting with a Dean, students are matched with an appropriate teacher who tailors instruction to best fit each student’s needs and goals. Lessons are available in all orchestral instruments—as well as piano, harp, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, percussion, and Suzuki violin, viola, cello and flute—and can be scheduled on weekdays and evenings.

Because a certain degree of physical development is essential to playing an instrument, Hochstein subscribes to the following minimum age requirements:
    Guitar, age 5
    Harp, age 9 (some prior piano study preferred)
    Percussion, age 9
    Piano, private, age 5
    Piano, group, age 4
    Suzuki strings, age 3
    Voice, age 12
    Wind instruments, age 9
 
Acoustic piano in the home required for all piano lessons.

Individual instruction is arranged by appointment with the Dean’s Office by calling (585) 454-4596. All new students pay a non-refundable $8 summer registration fee (maximum 2 fees per family). The $8 summer registration fee is waived for students enrolled in individual lessons and classes during the 2009-2010 school year.

For children enrolled in individual lessons, families pay a six-week reduced fee of only $30 for either one Music FUNdamentals or one Children’s Dance class, and reduced fees for Music Theory courses. Adults qualify for reduced fees for some Workshops, Ensembles, Music Theory, and Dance.

Private Lessons
$26*        30 minute lesson
$37*   45 minute lesson
$47*        1 hour lesson

*Tuition Assistance
Limited tuition assistance is available for all programs of study to those who qualify, based on household income. Students requiring tuition assistance in order to enroll in any program at Hochstein may apply for the sliding fee scale through the Dean’s Office. Verification of household income and completion of a tuition assistance application is due prior to registration. To inquire about guidelines for tuition assistance and to obtain an application, please call Hochstein at (585) 454–4596.

PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN

MUSIC FUNDAMENTALS
What better time to begin to explore the arts than childhood! Early classes in music and creative movement enhance children’s natural creative impulses, and help them to develop the skills they need to concentrate, communicate, coordinate, cooperate, and express themselves fully. Hochstein’s Music FUNdamentals program provides a fun, activity-oriented and nurturing environment in which children listen, move, sing, imitate, imagine, and create using the rich musical heritage of many cultures in rhyme, song, stories, and games.

Designed for children who have not yet begun or are in the early years of the study of an instrument, the sequential curriculum includes age-appropriate speech and sound activities, learning of simple movement patterns and dances, and using various percussion instruments in improvisation and composition.

SUZUKI STRINGS
A comprehensive program of study based on Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s philosophy that all children are born with a high potential for learning, and given the opportunity and a structured, encouraging environment, any child can learn to play an instrument. Students in the Suzuki program learn to make music using the “mother-tongue” approach--the same way they learn to speak--by listening and imitating.

The teacher and parent have equally important roles in the success of each child’s experience with the Suzuki method. By attending all lessons, supervising daily listening, and practicing with the student, the parent is an active participant in the learning process. The teacher, student, and parent form an all-important “triangle” of learning to support the child’s musical growth.

Suzuki Violin, Viola and Cello
age 3+
The Suzuki String program includes instrumental study of violin, viola, and cello with teachers who have been specially trained in the Suzuki Method. Individual instruction is provided in 30, 45, and 60 minute sessions and is supplemented by a weekly, 50 minute group class. Hochstein welcomes and encourages parents of prospective students to observe lessons and group classes before enrolling in the program. Please call (585) 454-4596 to request a detailed Suzuki Brochure and an observation schedule.

Fee: $8 registration fee; $29* fee per lesson (includes the group class). Schedules and fees are arranged by appointment with the Dean’s Office. With enrollment in Suzuki Strings, families pay reduced fees for one Music FUNdamentals or Children’s Dance class.

Early Start faculty members have extensive experience and interest in teaching younger students. Programs vary by instrument and age.
