How to request Private/Semi-Private Lessons
All private/semi-private lessons must be booked directly with the instructor. Please refer to the list below to identify which the teacher you want to work with and see the Faculty page to learn more about them.
- Each instructor sets their own fee and will reserve studio space based on availability for in-person lessons. Virtual instruction is also available.
- Students who are not registered TYSOD students must complete a waiver prior to their first lesson.
- Students are responsible for cancelling with the instructor 24 hours in advance in consideration of the instructor’s time and pending requests for studio space.
