The online Music Teacher Reference Listing is administered by the Office for the Arts (OFA) to help Harvard Students find opportunities to study music. Although Harvard University does not have its own staff of music instructors, the Cambridge/Boston area has many qualified teachers. The Listing provides names of local instructors who have expressed interest in teaching Harvard Students. Information includes rates, location and brief biographical notes. Students are responsible for contacting instructors to verify lesson plans and costs. Should you have questions call or drop by the OFA (74 Mt. Auburn Street), 5-8676.
