The Albuquerque Youth Symphony Program wants every student to succeed, to grow as a musician, and to reach his or her musical goals. That’s why we are offering our Private Lesson Program (PLP) to all current AYSP students in grades 6-12 who are not already taking private lessons on their AYSP instrument.
PRIVATE LESSON PROGRAM
How It Works
AYSP pairs each student with a top-quality local private teacher for four weekly “trial” lessons and pays 75% or more of the teacher’s fee for these four lessons.
After the four “trial” lessons, if the student and teacher wish to continue working together, AYSP will continue to subsidize the cost of the lessons based upon the student’s need for financial assistance (based upon federal low-income guidelines).
All PLP students will participate in a recital at the AYSP building on Sunday, April 13th, 2025 at 2 pm that is free and open to the public.
