PRIVATE LESSONS

MSTDA has a roster of music, dance and drama instructors who have extensive teaching and performing experience as well as professional training in their fields.

We are pleased to introduce these instructors into our program as private instructos who will teach you in an environment that you are comfortable with, either virtually or in-person. If you do not see desired instrument here, contact MSTDA directly to find the perfect instructor for your needs.
Students of all ages and levels are able to study with us, from beginners to intermediate to advanced students; from preparing for middle school, high school and college auditions to auditioning for performing arts opportunities. Students will learn technique and repertoire, while they develop their natural talents and acquire valuable skills to further enrich their life path. Recitals and performance opportunities will happen throughout the year.
