Private Lessons
Music
Columbia faculty represent a diversity of musical styles and experiences. They are mentors, teachers, and bandmates. Private lessons are often required as part of the curriculum. They're an opportunity for students to ask questions, receive one-on-one feedback, and explore new musical directions.
On this page, you can view faculty members by their area of expertise.
