Instruments & Instructors

Don’t see your instrument, style or special interest listed here? Give The Shedd Registrar a call at 541.434.7000! We’re adding

instructors, instruments and styles all the time!

Our goal is that music-making becomes a fun and cherished part of everyday

life. Students of any age and ability are en-couraged to experiment with different in-struments, instructors, musical styles and other music-related subjects. Students are never required to perform in front of others, but may elect to share their learning during term-end recitals. We currently offer private lessons as listed below. If you don’t see your instrument of choice, give us a call—we add new instructors and instruments continu-ally and make every effort to fill requests. All Shedd Institute instructors meet high per-formance, teaching, and ethical standards.

Private Lessons. Private lessons may be started at any time and are ongoing, throughout the year. Generally lessons are

scheduled weekly and range from ½, ¾ to 1 hour in length. Rates depend on the instruc-tor and range from $20.25 to $25.00 per ½ hour. Tuition is payable by the lesson, autopay, or monthly in advance

Semi-Private Lessons. Bring a friend or family member and have fun in music les-sons together! This is a great opportunity for siblings and parents to learn an instru-ment together. Semi-private lessons can be arranged for 2-4 students, are tailored to fit your needs, and are structured similar to private lessons: ½, ¾ and 1 hour. A sliding rate scale based upon the size of the group makes this an affordable alternative to pri-vate lessons.

COVID-19 & The SheddAs we continue the school year, our focus is to keep our students and faculty safe while still fostering a sense of community within our music school.

The Shedd Institute Community Music School

Winter Term, 2021 (January 4 - March 12)

Winter 2021 Dates. Classes begin Mon-day January 4 and meet weekly through Fri-day, March 12.

Late Enrollment. Many classes may be joined in progress (sometimes 1 or 2 “catch-up” private les-sons will be required) with prorated tuition.

Tuition, Class Siz-es, & Cancellation Policies. Class tuition is based on minimum enrollment and class-es that do not meet that enrollment will need to be cancelled. In such cases, we will refund or credit each enrolled student’s tuition, prorated by the number of cancelled class sessions. In most cases The Shedd Insti-tute can arrange pri-vate or semi-private small group alternatives for the cancelled class, or suggest an alterna-tive Shedd Institute music class.

Missed Days & Withdrawals. There are no discounts, refunds, or credits for class ses-sions not attended. Students may withdraw from a class and receive a prorated refund through the 4th session, subject to a cancel-lation fee. This refund will be for any class

sessions more than two weeks past the with-drawal date.

Class Age & Skill Levels. The Shedd Institute welcomes students of all ages and

accommodates differ-ent physical and learn-ing abilities. Age levels for classes are meant only as guidelines. Skill level is a more inf lex-ible prerequisite, since the courses have been designed for optimal instructional content.

Workshops. Guest Artist workshops are held throughout the year with our visit-ing concert artists as schedules permit. Shedd students receive special discounts and invitations to these workshops.

Se habla español. Call 541.434.7000 or come in to The Shedd; ask for the Registrar.

Instrument Rental. If you don’t have an instrument, one can be rented affordably from The Shedd’s instrument bank.

Need-based Scholarships are available to qualifying families for classes, special Music School programs, and, in some cases, private lessons. Ask for the Registrar.
