Hopkinton Center for the Arts offers quality private lesson education for all ages and skill levels. Our professional instructors provide individually tailored instruction for musicians, artists, actors, and dancers. Most instructors hold master's degrees and have taught in collegiate programs and at exceptional galleries and museums nationwide. 

 

Private Lessons at HCA are held weekly during the academic year (September through June), providing a consistent learning experience. However, we understand that life can be unpredictable, so lessons can start at any time throughout the year, offering flexibility to our students. Tuition is charged monthly based on your lesson type and length, allowing our instructors to focus on their students' development.  

 

The HCA is also proud to offer summer lessons that honor off-time and family vacations. Summer lessons do not require weekly attendance; they can be taken whenever possible. Current students who skip our summer semester are guaranteed the same lesson spot the following fall, assuming the teacher's availability remains the same.

​

For those craving more flexibility, we also offer one-time or short-term lessons in our "Drop-In" lessons program. These lessons are priced higher. Please email privatelessons@hopartscenter.org for more information or to sign up for these.

 

Ready to embark on your educational journey with us? Fill out the registration form below. We value your time and will contact you during business hours, Monday through Friday, if we need any additional information or to set up your first lesson.

 

Students of all ages and abilities are welcome. Please email privatelessons@hopartscenter.org if you have questions about your child's readiness.
