BYU-Idaho's music professors offer music lessons to students outside the music department. For $200, these lessons consist of a 10-week course with 30-minute sessions, and students can choose what music specialty they would like to learn.

Students can take music lessons on various instruments, such as the piano, percussion, flute and even vocal lessons.

To enroll in these courses, students can add the lessons as a course. Course code starting with 158, followed by a letter corresponding to their chosen instrument or singing instructor of interest.

Students can also contact the professor and send in their I-number so they can guide them and place them in their course.

If you are worried that you might not be skilled enough, have never touched an instrument before or have never had music lessons before, don't worry.

"Just do it!" said Professor Kevin Meyer, director of percussion.

Meyer shared that everyone is welcome to take these lessons, even if you're not in the music department.

"We structure their lessons in a way that helps them learn whatever they want," Meyer said.

In the past, Meyer had a student in the Computer Science department who took his class and went on to perform at the Percussion Arts Society International Convention. Many who have taken these lessons from him and other instructors have also received music scholarships.

Meyer mentioned that these lessons can teach you skills outside of music, such as time management and balancing life outside of college.

"It's a good place to be … to gain skills and friends," Meyer said.
