Private Music Lessons

At Saint Joseph’s we offer a wonderful opportunity for students to participate in private voice, piano, and/or guitar lessons during the school day.  For a discounted fee, a student may sign up for up to two semi-private or private lessons, one semester at a time (two semesters altogether in a school year).  The teachers are college educated in their particular fields and have years of training as professional performers who are highly qualified.  There is a rewards system in place to track the weekly practices with prizes at the end of each month and grand prizes per each recital awarded to the top winners. At each lesson the teachers give assignments and hold the students accountable for practicing while charting their progress.  Parents sign the assignment sheets to keep them involved, and the students have a set program that is in place per lesson which includes working out of a music theory work book.  All piano and singing books that are used are in alignment with the well known, local performing arts schools.  There is one student recital per teacher per semester with all recitals presented at the famous Steinway Piano Gallery, one of only twelve licensed Galleries in the world right in Boca Raton, FL.  The students are accompanied by or play on a nine foot, $200,000 Steinway grand piano!

Scientific studies have shown that those who take piano and voice lessons increase their IQ as well as help them to do better in all academic subjects by having access to otherwise dormant brain matter which is awakened for the execution of the skills required to play or sing.
