Salve Regina offers three levels of individual instruction –
ranging from beginning to advanced – for students to receive music lessons. In
addition to voice, lessons on many instruments within the western European and
American musical culture are available for course credit. Lessons consist of 14
weekly, one-on-one sessions per semester with a highly qualified instructor. All
Salve Regina instructors are active performers in their areas of applied music.
A variety of musical styles are represented among the various lessons. If
students are interested in a particular genre, every effort will be made to
place them with an instructor that specializes in that particular style. The
difficulty of the repertoire is based on the level of the technical and musical
skills of the individual student. Salve Regina’s applied music instructors have
a keen sense of what is both challenging and rewarding for the developing music
student.
Instruction is offered for the following:
- Bassoon
- Cello
- Clarinet
- Electric Bass
- Flute
- Guitar (all styles)
- Harp
- Oboe
- Organ
- Percussion
- Piano
- Saxophone
- String Bass
- Trombone
- Trumpet
- Tuba
- Viola
- Violin
- Voice
Due to the
one-on-one nature of applied music lessons, there is an additional music fee
for individual instruction. While this is commonplace among most colleges and
universities, Salve Regina is committed to keeping the fee for individual lessons
to a level below that which would be charged for private study outside of the University.
