Best-fit Lesson Plan
The Academy of Music offers the Best-fit Lesson Plan, a unique opportunity to select not only the length and number of lessons but also the level of instruction. Families can make decisions based on instructor experience, student skill level, interests, expectations, financial consideration, scheduling or any other criteria important to the student. The availability of instructors may vary depending on the instrument.

Lesson Observation
How do you know if an instructor will be a good fit? You are welcome to observe a lesson of the instructor you are interested in working with a current student. Observations are completely free and help the family get a feel for what it would be like to join a specific instructor's studio. Contact the Academy at academymusic@unwsp.edu to set up your observation.
