Private Instruction

Hone your Craft

We offer lessons taught by professionals who are at the top of their field and active performers in the Roanoke Valley. They work with you through tailored one-on-one instruction to guide you to and help you achieve the next level of accomplishment and success. Majors and minors perform regularly at Music at Noon throughout the semester. In addition to developing their performance skills, students can also study composition. Students work closely with faculty to develop original work that is regularly premiered in public forums.
