Adult Music Programs

Adults of all interests and abilities will find something to suit them at Hartt.

Instrumental Ensembles for the Adult Musician

Adults who have experience on their instrument may choose one of many different types of chamber ensembles designed for students who want a small ensemble with study in the rich repertoire of that type of literature. Intermediate string students can enjoy the Joza Karas Adult String Ensemble which meets regularly on Saturdays and performs occasionally throughout the year. Members enjoy wonderful social time and enriching musical instruction and performance opportunities as they study with Joza Karas, long-time member of the Hartford Symphony and arranger of string orchestral repertoire.

Private Music Lessons

We offer private music lessons in voice, piano, guitar, violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, trumpet, horn, trombone, euphonium/baritone, tuba, and percussion. Regardless of your experience, whether a beginner, intermediate or advanced, learn from the best teachers in the area and bring your musical studies to the next level.

Classes

For adults who are not yet ready for private lesson study, or may be hesitant to commit to private lessons at the beginning level, we offer group classes for adults in piano and voice. We have selected teachers who specialize in working with adults in a group setting making your experience educational, enjoyable and socially rewarding.

This spring (2008) we are offering 10-week classes for adult singers, adult piano classes for beginners, and Alexander Technique for Musicians. For more information, or to register, click here.

Workshops

If you are looking for less commitment than a semester or year of study, or are not sure where your interests lie, consider one of our single-day workshops held throughout the year and geared toward a wide variety of interests. Check periodically for current workshops offered at our school.
