A Letter From Our Program Coordinator
Dear Parents,
We are excited to start the 2025-26 school year and provide another opportunity for students to take private music lessons after school.
This school year, we are offering private lessons in person on campus to students in grades 3 and older. Younger students can consider taking lessons off campus, at home.
Sign-ups begin Monday, September 15th.
If your child is not able to take private lessons in person, please consider online music lessons with our exceptional music teachers.
Chris Suazo
If your child is in K 1 - 2nd grade, go here for information.
The first step is to decide what musical instrument or voice you would like to learn. If you are not sure, get more information here.
The second step is to read over the biographies of the music teachers at ASM and decide which one will best suit your musical needs.
The third step would be for you to contact the teacher you in which you are interested. Arrange a time and day that works best for you and the music teacher.
Final step - complete a New Student Enrollment Form online. You can print yourself a hard copy for your records if you'd like. Here is a link to our lesson fees for the 2025-26 school year.
For any other questions contact Dr. Suazo the Coordinator of the Afterschool Music Program: chrissuazo@asmadrid.es
We are pleased to announce the following sign-up timeline for the Activities Program:
Private Music Lessons sign-ups from the ASA activities google page.
Use the links above to read biographies of our music teachers and lesson fees. Parents should contact music teachers directly to arrange a lesson day and time. Then you can complete the "Enrollment Form" once confirmed by the music teacher.
If you have completed the enrollment form, private music lessons will begin October 1st.
