Mastering Musicianship (M2) Voice Lesson Program

Statistics indicate that if a child participates in music, he or she is likely to earn higher grades and score better on standardized tests.  Now there is powerful scientific evidence of a cause and effect link between music instruction and intelligence.
 
PLD's Mastering Musicianship Program, known as M2, provides for individual music lessons over a 11-week session each semester.  The advantages to this program are cost and convenience.  The rate for private lessons in Lexington can range from $20 to upwards of $45 per half-hour.  The M2 program at PLD is only $193 for the 11-week session, and private instruction takes place in the practice rooms at PLD, under the direction of highly qualified vocal instructors.

Lessons are arranged to accommodate student needs.
