The Swain Studio Instructors
At The Swain Studio we utilize a tiered membership model for pricing. Each instructor’s education, teaching, and performance experience are all taken into consideration during the recruitment of our talented and accomplished educator who calls our studio their teaching “home.”
If you are someone brand new to learning an instrument, singing, or acting, or, are looking for an instructor for a young beginner, our Assistant Instructors may be the best option. If you’re intermediate or advanced, consider working with an Associate or Master Instructor.
Should you have any questions, please reach out to lessons@theswainstudio.com for assistance!
