Brearley will apply financial assistance toward one private music lesson session per week at the same rate as a family's tuition assistance.

Charges are assessed and included monthly in the Brearley invoice, unless special arrangements are made. 

Please note: Parents are responsible for the fee for the entire year of music lessons unless:

• Ms. Youngstein is notified before the fifth lesson that lessons are to be cancelled, OR

• Ms. Youngstein is notified by January 15, 2026, that lessons are to be discontinued for the second semester.

Parents are asked to email the private teacher directly if their child must miss a lesson. The private teacher should be informed the evening before, if possible, or in the early morning (before 8:00 am) of the lesson day itself.

Ms. Youngstein is responsible for scheduling all lessons and administering the music lesson program. She can be contacted by email (ryoungstein@brearley.org) or by phone: (212) 744-8582, ext. 2513.
