M2 Private Lesson ProgramStatistics 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.
Lafayette’s Mastering Musicianship Program, known as M2, provides for individual music lessons over a 12-week session each semester. (Enrollment is open at the beginning of each semester.) The advantages to this program are cost and convenience. The rate for private lessons in Lexington is well over $30 per half-hour lesson. The M2 program at Lafayette is only $200 for current choir students for the 10-week session, and the majority of the private instruction takes place in the practice rooms of the Lafayette Music department, under the direction of highly qualified music consultants. Lessons are arranged to accommodate student needs. Lessons will occur between the hours of 3:30-7:30 pm, Monday thru Thursday. For 8th Grade Students We are able to offer additional lesson spots to 8th grade students for $200. Please indicate your schedule preference and we will try to accommodate. M2 Fall 2025 Schedule*
