Group Instruction for beginners

There is no greater advantage than setting off in the right direction
whatever the destination may be. Jefferson at OSU has found that, for most beginners, group instruction (six to twelve students) under the guidance of an advanced instructor is the best way to begin the musical journey. Students learn from each other as well as the teacher. Classes begin in the Fall Quarter and continue for the year unless noted otherwise. Group classes are available for strings, piano, flute, and guitar; adult piano, guitar, and voice.

Musicianship topics are integrated into the classes and students will generally move to private lessons after two years in the group. It is extremely important to have an adequate and properly sized instrument, so please confer with the instructor in order to make the best possible choice.
