The UCLA Lab School Instrumental Music Program is provided as a regular part of the school’s instructional program.

Larry Newman is the music director. Emily Senchuk, Laura Patterson, Debbie Klak, Lyn Bertles, Jonathan Terry, Julie Metz and Desiree' Deasy are the music teaching specialists.

There is no additional fee or charge for the music lessons. However, some non-instructional costs may include music books, music supplies and the purchase, lease or rental of the musical instrument. A limited number of school instruments are available on a first-come first served basis for students on fee waivers with priority given to first year students.

Students receive instruction one day per week on the instrument of their choice.
Classes are for beginners as well as students with some previous experience.

Instrument choices include flute, clarinet, alto sax, trumpet, baritone horn, trombone, violin and cello.

Students must be at least seven years old to participate. Seven year olds may choose only the violin.
