frequently asked questions
Who can participate in Free Music and Art Week?
Anyone ages 5 – 105+, youth or adult, who is not currently enrolled in individual instruction at Portsmouth Music and Arts Center (PMAC) may take one free in-person or online lesson on an age-appropriate instrument of their choice.
How do I sign up?
Simply complete the online registration form with your lesson preferences. Once you submit the form, you will see a screen thanking you for submitting the form. Requests will be processed in the order that they were received. Please note: PMAC will be closed for the holiday break from Dec 20, 2022 through Jan 2, 2023.
What do I need to participate?
For online lessons, you will need a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with an internet connection, microphone, and video camera (the microphone and camera can be built into the computer). You will also need to be able to run Zoom on your device.
For both online and in person instrumental (piano, guitar, saxophone, etc.) music lessons, we recommend that you have an instrument in working condition so you may get the full experience. If you do not yet have an instrument and would still like to meet with a teaching artist to learn about private lessons, that is possible. Priority will be given to students who have instruments to play during their lesson. For online art lessons, a recommended list of supplies will be sent prior to the lessons. For in person art lessons, students will use supplies in our art classroom.
What will I experience during my free lesson?
The free lesson is an opportunity for you to meet a teaching artist, learn a skill related to the instrument, voice, or art medium, and answer any questions you may have about our individual instruction program.
I loved my lesson and want to continue. How do I register?
A member of our admissions team will follow-up via email within a few days of your lesson, and will be ready to guide you through the enrollment process.
Will I be able to study with the same teaching artist I met during my free lesson?
Possibly, if there is an appropriate opening in the teaching artist’s schedule. Otherwise, we will match you up with another one of our excellent teachers.
Is tuition aid available?
Yes! Please go to our Tuition Aid page on our website and submit your aid application.
