Piano Lessons with

Developing piano skills is an enjoyable and educational way to learn the foundations of music. More information and signup links are located below. Space is extremely limited.


"Our daughter has repeatedly stated how she loves the way Dr. Grant teaches and encourages her while incorporating her music interests in their lessons. Dr. Grant encourages and gives positive reinforcement for her efforts, which was noticed and much appreciated!" Jamie Vaughn
Theatrical Lessons with
Erica Davidson

Advanced Theatre Teacher and Choreographer Erica Davidson will offer private drama/theatre technique lessons for interested students in grades 6th through 12th. Individual study with Mrs. Davidson will help students develop stage confidence and skills that are applicable to both plays and musical theatre. More information and signup links are located below. Space is extremely limited.

"Our child loved the lessons - even over Zoom! Erica is fun, energetic, and very engaging." Julee Head
Instrumental Lessons with Tom Grant

Performing Arts Department Chair and MS/US Band and Orchestra Instructor Tom Grant will offer private instrumental lessons this fall for students in grades 6th through 12th. Your instrument of choice will be needed to complete each lesson. This is a great way to continue developing your musical talents. More information and signup links are located below. Space is extremely limited.


"Our child enjoyed the one-to-one interaction with both instructors. It was clear that they were both experts in their field, so I appreciated the quality of the instruction. She said they made learning so much fun, and that Mr. Grant was so nice!"  Christy Glenn
Guitar Lessons with
Matthew Hampton

Union University graduate Matthew Hampton will offer individual guitar lessons through USJ this fall for students in grades 6th-12th. Mr. Hampton is a talented tenor and guitarist, and has worked as a mentor and tutor to both beginning and experienced musicians. More information and signup links are located below. Space is extremely limited.

"Lessons with my son and daughter went well! Zoom presents some challenges as opposed to in-person instruction, but Matthew was great!" Alisa Lindley
Voice Lessons with
Kaylen Williams

Students in grades 6th-12th will also have the opportunity to work with Union University senior Kaylen Williams for voice lessons this fall, using the Blaylock Method of instruction. Miss Williams is an accomplished soprano who has tutored both middle and high school students in voice. More information and signup links are located below. Space is extremely limited.


"Our daughter took voice lessons with Kaylen Williams online this summer and we were absolutely satisfied. She improved and it also helps a lot to have a video of the lesson, so you can watch it again and see where you made mistakes or where there is still room for improvement. Kaylen is also very kind and patient. It was a pleasure to work with her!" Kerstin Goetz
MORE DETAILS

All lessons include 10 sessions, 30 minutes each. An optional recital will be held in USJ's Blankenship Theater (or online if required) at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, November 30, for all students interested in performing a piece at the end of the semester.


Lessons will be conducted in person for USJ students as long as the school is in Social Distancing mode. You also have the option for your child to receive lessons online instead of in person. That option is available as a question during the enrollment process, not as a separate enrollment option. The online format will be used for non-USJ students.


If the school shifts to Enhanced Social Distancing (still on campus with no extracurriculars) or Online mode, lessons will be conducted online via Zoom. In that case, parents will receive a video recording of each lesson.

Spread the word! Our programs are open to all students from any school. Homeschoolers are welcome.

MORE REVIEWS
We want to thank USJ for bringing professionals in Arts/Voice to help our kiddos grow their talents. It was truly a nice experience. This was the first time they were exposed to a high quality voice teacher for individual instruction. Even online, my kids were enthusiastic and motivated to continue in voice and the feedback received from Dr. Warren was truly valuable. We want to thank USJ for such great summer lessons.”
