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, May 3, for all students interested in performing.


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.


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.
