Should we have your private lessons through the College, or at my home studio? I started teaching at Olympic College in 1978 and am currently the Guitar and Bass instructor at Olympic College Poulsbo (OCP). I also teach Mandolin and Fiddle (just not on the college agenda) Here’s the breakdown for private instruction at OC:
Take advantage of the discount offered to residents. If you are a Washington state resident, (or a high school student with at least a bonafide “Junior” status) you can take private guitar, and/or bass lessons from me – through –Â Olympic College Skype lessons from anywhere within Washington state!
Each quarter, Olympic College offers ten instruction days and one day for final exams. Standard registration fees include tuition, credits, security, parking, etc. (possible exception for skype students) -plus an additional fee for private instruction. Once you’ve selected your instrument and decided to take private lessons these are your options:
1/2 credit – 1 hour lesson every-other week (5 one-hour lessons) Additional fee – $200.00
1 full credit – 1 hour lesson each week (10 one-hour lessons ) Additional fee – $400.00

The downside (not bad)
