Overview

    Every musician’s development can be greatly enhanced through private lessons, and lessons through New York Jazz Academy® ensure you will be provided with effective, inspiring and personalized instruction. Private lessons are available at your home, at a music rehearsal studio, at the teacher’s private studio, or via video-conferencing. Our teachers all meet strict criteria as educators and musicians. They are also selected based on their communication skills and ability to work well with students of all ages. Lessons are 55-60 minutes. Tuition payment schedules are flexible, and you can start and end at any time. All lesson packages expire 180 days from date of purchase, giving you plenty of time to schedule and use all your lessons.

Lessons in the teacher’s studio must be cancelled within 72 hours of the scheduled lesson time in order for the student to receive a makeup lesson. Makeup lessons will be scheduled by the teacher. Lessons that are not cancelled at least 72 hours before your scheduled lesson time will be forfeited. Visit our policies page for complete information.

Scheduling Guarantee

    If your schedule is quite erratic, we recommend that you pay lesson-to-lesson with a “One (1) Lesson Package.” If you prepay for a “One (1) Lesson Package” and you cannot find, and agree upon, a time with your private teacher within 180 days from date of purchase, we will refund your prepayment. This scheduling guarantee is only valid with the “One (1) Lesson Package”.
