TYPA offers a wide variety of music lessons in Taipei for students of all ages and abilities, including Cello, Flute, Guitar, Piano, Violin and Voice. Our programs provide 30, 45 or 60-minute private lessons, as well as group classes in Flute, Guitar and our children's choir, Chanterelles.
Guided by highly qualified and experienced music instructors, many of whom hold Master of Music degrees and are active performers, students develop musical skills, creativity, discipline and confidence in a supportive learning environment.
Students are encouraged to practice regularly using their own or rented instruments, and TYPA can assist families in finding suitable instruments. At the end of the school year, students also have the opportunity to showcase their progress at our annual music recital.

Music lessons can begin at any time during the semester depending on availability and lessons will be prorated from the actual starting date.
Every parent and student is required to read and understand the TYPA Music Agreement. The Music Agreement is available at the TYPA office, on our website, or in the TYPA Music Notebook.
Please do not enroll in the TYPA music program unless you are able to make a weekly commitment to your music lessons. In the
event you are not able to make a class, a friend or family member will not be allowed to take that class for you unless they are already a student of the same TYPA music teacher.
* Each student is only allowed one make up lesson per semester (except Camp Taiwan).
Please note that there may be additional costs for music books.
There will be an annual music recital held at the end of the Spring semester. It will take place in April and/or May on the Taipei American School campus. The music recital is an excellent opportunity for students to boost their confidence and show off their skills in front of an audience!
