Private Lessons

Metropolitan Performing Arts

GROUP STUDIO CLASSES
Students who take private music lessons may also participate in a monthly group studio class where students meet with an MPA private teacher to cover a variety of topics, an added bonus to the solo lesson time. Topics can include discussions, lectures, Master classes and dress rehearsals for the final studio recital. Studio classes are held the last Sunday of the month for one hour via Zoom (Summer Session) and either online or in-person all other terms. Studio class will be re-scheduled if the last Sunday of the month falls on a tech, strike or performance day. Studio classes are a chance to hone valuable skills and challenge each musician in a fun, friendly, and safe environment.

What People are Saying About MPA

"I am so impressed with Metropolitan Performing Arts! We have had such a great experience in working with them each year. Barbara Richardson has been so helpful in making sure that our daughter was getting the best of care. I also really appreciate the high quality level of costumes and props and imagination that are put into the Harry Potter LARP camps and also the performances we've seen during the years. The acting examples of the teachers and of the older students speaks well of the quality of teaching that my daughter is getting. I feel very fortunate that we have found this academy. And best of all our daughter just loves coming! We wouldn't miss it! In a day and age when money is tight, we feel it is money well spent." - Emily Ihasz

The friendships she has made and the confidence she has gained from taking part in shows & classes in these two years are priceless.
