Private Music Lessons (Optional) 

Havergal has facilities to support private music instruction. The school’s Music Program is enhanced  by students who engage in music instruction beyond the academic program at school. Students and  parents appreciate the convenience of having private instruction at school. The instruction is of a  high quality and taught by instructors whose qualifications and experience have been reviewed by  Havergal College’s Music Department.   The decision for your daughter to take private lessons should be considered very carefully as it  requires thoughtful family planning regarding the scheduling of a weekly lesson. Lesson times  cannot be easily changed. Additionally, it is prudent to consider a one‑year commitment as the  teacher will require this time‑frame in order to become acquainted with your daughter’s learning  styles and full talent potential.  Protocol for Private Music Using Havergal Facilities 1. Faculty members of the Havergal College Music Department will screen private music  instructors. Only approved instructors may work with Havergal students at Havergal College.  2.
