Our distinguished faculty have been chosen not only for their fine credentials as teachers and artists, but also for their experience and sensitivity. We offer professionals who specialize in providing the basics to the beginner, and master teachers qualified to teach the most advanced student. Private lessons, the foundation of Cleveland Institute of Music Preparatory and Continuing Education experience, allow teachers to foster a creative, personal relationship with students.
