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 | |
