Programs, fees and how to apply

Instruments
At the Zakhar Bron School of Music we teach violin, viola, cello, piano and harp to 4-18 year old students. All instrument lessons are taught individually – one-to-one. We also teach music theory and music history – as optional disciplines. These two subjects are taught in groups of 3-5 students.

Programs
Depending on the number and duration of lessons, the following tuition programs are available: basic (up to 60 minutes a week), advanced (starting with 2×45-minute lessons a week) and professional (starting with 3×60-minute lessons a week, can be assigned by the school administration only).

Tuition fees
The tuition fees are fixed for a semester and depend on the number and duration of lessons taken per week. The tuition fees for the 2023/2024 academic school year are (CHF per month/semester):

1 lesson 2 lessons 3 lessons
30 min 220  /  1’320 400  /  2’400 570  /  3’420

Extra lessons & piano accompaniment
Extra lessons can be provided during a semester, if requested by a student to better prepare for a competition or a concert for example. These are charged at a fixed hourly rate of 120 CHF/h. Piano accompaniment shall be provided by the School to the string students when preparing for the concerts, competitions etc at a fixed rate of 90 CHF/h.

Discounts for tuition
The discounts for tuition and their recipients shall be determined by the School Board & Administration meeting for each semester.
