How much do Kalman Music Lessons cost?
Kalman Music Lessons starts at $50 a lesson on a 10-lesson studio package. A single 30-minute studio lesson is $65, and at-home lessons in NYC start at $60 per lesson on a 10-lesson package. Online lessons cost the same as studio lessons — the table below is the online table too. The Hobby studio membership is $149 a month billed monthly, or $1,188 paid up front for the year, which works out to $99 a month. Your first lesson is $15 at one of our NYC studios or $50 at your home, in NYC or Westchester. Kalman Music Lessons charges no registration fee and no semester fee for lessons, and lesson packages carry no contract. Monthly memberships can be cancelled any time; annual memberships are paid for the full year up front — see the lesson policy for membership terms.
