Lessons at Music of the Bay

The instructional division of the business is quite strong. Currently, Music of the Bay contracts with 10 qualified music instructors teaching half hour lessons Monday through Saturday in 6 private lesson rooms. Our schedule services an average of  170 students per week. At full capacity and a staff of 6 teachers per day, we could provide private lessons for 336 students per week.


The teachers that Music of the Bay contracts with for our instrument lessons are the key to edging out the competition. Currently, our contracted staff includes 5 Massachusetts State Certified Teachers, 3 of whom have their Master’s Degrees. Three other teachers have degrees in music, with a concentration in performance. The remaining are professional working musicians in high demand around Cape Cod and Southeastern Massachusetts. Most of our teachers have been with us for some time. They enjoy wonderful retention rates and student referrals. All of our teachers are fluent in reading and writing music. We require that students also learn to read and write music so as to fully understand and enjoy their instrument. This sets us apart from our competition.

Lessons Policy

The fee for weekly half hour lessons at Music of the Bay is $20.00 per lesson. Payment for monthly lessons is due at the beginning of the month. Recitals are held twice a year. Students have the opportunity to participate in both or one. A $10.00 fee per recital is required to participate.

Please inform us of any scheduled absences for the month when you make payment for those lessons. Unscheduled absences will be charged to your account since the instructor requires payment. If the lesson can be rescheduled within the week, we will do so. If not, the student is liable for the charge. No exceptions will be made.

We will be closed for the following holidays: New Years Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

In the event of a teacher absence, efforts will be made to secure a substitute or reschedule the lesson. Students are expected to attend lessons when a substitute is scheduled. In the event that a substitute teacher is not available, the lesson may be rescheduled. If neither of these options is possible, a credit will be issued for that lesson.

Thank you for your patronage. We strive to supply the areas most effective, professional music lessons. Your continued support is essential to our efforts.
