How study works

A developmental plan is designed for each student based on an assessment of their abilities. Students can study privately or in group sessions, and instruments are available for rental or purchase on a first-come, first-served basis.

Ensembles of two to twelve players perform in public once they become proficient. Private lessons can be arranged in a 30-, 45- or 60-minute format.

Photographs and/or videos of participants in this program may be used in publicly released media such as websites, social media, advertisements, brochures and posters. Parents and guardians must notify NJWA in writing if they do not consent to these uses of photos or videos of their children.
