Instruments
At the Zakhar Bron School of Music we teach violin, cello and piano 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.

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).
