Program Description
We offer ISP students private music lessons at ISP after school at any campus.
At ISP Ranelagh
We offer private music lessons at ISP of 30-minutes or 45-minutes for beginners, and 1-hour for students entering at least their 3rd year of study. Also, students can pair their private instrument lessons with ABRSM music theory lessons online.
At ISP Beethoven and Cortambert
We offer private music lessons of 45-minutes or 1-hour. Also, students can pair their private instrument lessons with ABRSM music theory lessons online.
Performing Opportunities
Above all, music is meant to be shared! Each student enrolled in private lessons is offered two performing opportunities per year in a Parisian concert hall. One concert takes place halfway through the school year and the second at the end of the school year so that we can hear our progression.
Optional Exam Preparation
Finally, this program can prepare students for the non-mandatory Associated Board of the Royal School of Music Exams (ABRSM). The Conservatory encourages all students to prepare for these exams as they give a tangible goal to achieve and motivate students throughout the year. They are not the right fit for everyone. It would be best to speak with your teacher about this option to decide whether your child should take these exams. ABRSM is the most internationally recognized music examination organization. For more information about these exams, please see the post – ABRSM Exams.

Are music lessons online worth it?
In short, YES! The 2019/2020 school year taught us so much about organizing for the unpredictable. In Paris alone, we had interruptions from strikes, protests, and of course, the pandemic. During the entire confinement, we continued music lessons online, trying different teaching methods, lesson lengths, and even times of the day to find the right balance to drive our students’ progress. What they accomplished was truly incredible.
As a result, we have decided to keep online instrument lessons as an option when someone is away, just a little under the weather but still wants to learn, or for Muisc Theory! Music theory can help many students with their note and rhythm reading and understanding without a face-to-face setting. If you are considering music theory send us and email and we will tell you if you are the right fit for this class.
