A robust private lessons program is vital to the success of the Murchison Middle School Band. The stronger the individual player, then the stronger the collective organization will be.
Private lessons are a wonderful way to enhance your child’s playing ability. Our students meet one on one with a highly qualified specialist on their instrument.
During the school day, our specialists come to Murchison and provide a 25-30 minute lesson. They will work on extra technique and skills that will compliment what we are doing in class and help build a more well-rounded musician.
These specialized instructors have Masters and Doctorate degrees in their specialized area, are active performing musicians in Austin, and are fantastic teachers.
Lessons are highly encouraged for all of our musicians. Think of it as having a personal trainer who makes you a better version of yourself!
