Student Teaching Division
The Student Teaching Division runs under the auspices of the University of Wisconsin School of Music to provide its students with valuable teaching experience.
The staff consists of undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the School of Music who are overseen by individual faculty members as well as by an experienced graduate supervisor. Lessons are taught on campus, in the Mosse Humanities Building.
Teachers often teach current university students who are non-music majors but who are interested in continuing study, or community members who are interested in the program.
Fall 2008 Registration
Interested students should apply in writing beginning August 11, 2008 using the application form (PDF file). After receiving your registration and payment, the Coordinator will determine if there is a teacher available. Assignments
will be made beginning September 8, and assigned teachers will then contact
students to arrange lesson times. If we cannot assign a teacher, we
will notify you and return your check.
All lessons must be completed by December 12 Applications for fall lessons will not be accepted after November 1, 2008.
Fees
Make checks payable to UW-Madison School of Music. Tuition varies, depending on the length of the lesson and the training and experience of the teacher. Lessons of 30 and 45 minutes are available. Please refer to the fee charts below for tuition.
Tuition along with a semester administrative fee ($10/individual or $15/family) must be paid in full at the time of registration. No lessons may be given without advance receipt of payment.

This program is limited by University and School of Music constraints.
We regret that we cannot guarantee lessons for all interested
individuals. Wherever possible, continuing students in the program will
receive priority for subsequent semesters. However, given teacher
turnover, we cannot guarantee continuing instruction. Students should
be at least 8 years of age to participate, although an exception may be
made in the case of previous advanced musical training prior to age 8.
Parents of students under 8 must remain in the Humanities building
during lessons.
Fall 2008 Teacher Availability Coming Soon
