The Collective Global Vision offers multiple types of programs designed to fit students’ unique goals. Programs include long-term certificate programs, short-term community music programs, and private lessons with our award-winning instructors, all working professionals in the New York City music scene.

Our short-term programs offer students an opportunity to expand their musical horizons, develop instrument technique in a condensed time frame, and sample the instruction style used in our long-term programs. See our Community Music Programs Page for more information on our upcoming short-term programs.

Applying and auditioning is not required to enroll in these programs.

Private lessons offer students the opportunity to study specific skills and techniques outside of our Diploma or Community Music Programs. If you sign up for multiple lessons, we can work with you to develop a custom lesson plan to help you achieve your goals. See our Private Lessons Page to sign up.

Applying and auditioning is not required to enroll in these programs.

The Collective Global Vision does not offer visas, however if you’d like to study with us as an international student please contact us for more information.
