Lessons

Whether you're interested in Brass, Percussion, Piano, Strings, Woodwind instruments and/or Voice lessons, K&S Conservatory of Music has twenty individual private studios that provide a professional learning environment.

Lessons also include the opportunity to participate in the National Federation of Music Clubs, the Minnesota Music Teachers Association state exams and contests, recitals, and receive assistance in preparing for college music scholarships and music major entrance exams.

Education credit and subtraction - tax deduction information
Minnesota has two programs for families with children in kindergarten through 12th grade: the K-12 Education Subtraction, and the K-12 Education Credit. Both programs help to lower taxes, but if you meet the eligibility requirements for the credit, you may qualify for a larger refund. To find out more information, go to the website at www.taxes.state.mn.us and type "Education Credit" in the Search bar.

Current lesson types being offered are listed below. Be sure to visit the Special Programs page for information about kids lessons and other specialty programs that are available.
