For group lesson availability, please check the right sidebar on each page, where we’ll keep an updated list of open spots and group starting dates.

Each group will consist of no more than five students, and includes 8 one-hour lessons on Wednesday evenings. Michael will tailor each group curriculum to the ability of the group. If there are any questions as to where a student would be best placed, we can schedule an introductory lesson to evaluate the student’s skill level and ensure they’re placed in the right group for them.

Group lessons will cost $200 per student, and will consist of:

• One hour-long group lesson each week for eight weeks
• One half-hour private lesson during the course to ensure techniques are being learned and practiced correctly
• A short performance opportunity after the course ends for parents and friends to see what’s been learned

Where are classes held?
They’ll be held in our home, same as our private lessons. You’ll find a map here.

Can current students get into group lessons also? Is there a discount for current students?
Group lessons are open to both new and current students, and the price is the same for both. Students may take both private and group lessons at the same time. Current students who refer a group student to us can get $10 off their next month’s tuition!

When/how should we pay? Can I pay in installments?
The full $200 is due at the first lesson, either in cash or check made out to Michael Boyd. Sorry we can’t take partial payments, since once the course starts, your spot is reserved for the full 8 weeks!

Can parents sit in and watch during lessons?
We welcome parents staying involved, but with limited time and parking, we ask that parents please drop off kids if possible to save on parking space and distractions during group lessons. Parents wanting to watch are welcome to sit in on the last ten minutes each week.

Group placement is always underway, so contact us today to reserve a spot!
