music lesson opportunities for non-music majors

<p>How accessible are music (piano) lessons for Rice students who are NOT in the school of music?</p>

<p>The Shepard School offers private lessons for nonmajors:

  • PRIVATE LESSONS (MUSI 141-197) 2 credits in:
    Bassoon Harp Saxophone
    Cello Horn Trombone
    Clarinet Oboe Trumpet
    Classical Guitar Percussion Tuba
    Double Bass Piano Viola
    Flute Violin</p>

<p>You must register at the Shepherd School office prior to university registration. (Associate Dean’s signature is required.) Private lessons are taught by graduate students. An applied music fee of $400 per semester will be charged to your ESTHER account for these lessons.</p>

<p>See [Shepherd</a> School of Music - Rice University](<a href=“http://music.rice.edu/undergraduate/nonmajor.shtml]Shepherd”>http://music.rice.edu/undergraduate/nonmajor.shtml) for even more opportunities for non-majors.</p>

<p>This is good to know.</p>

<p>any way to get lessons from the faculty? It would be awesome to learn from Shepard teachers…</p>

<p>I don’t believe so, unfortunately :confused: I had a phone conversation with a faculty member from Shepard on my instrument (trombone) and he said that he only taught music majors.</p>
