Private Lesson Teacher Database
A thoughrough, though not exhaustive, list of DGN-recommended teachers both in and out of our building.
Every member of the DGN Choirs is encouraged to take lessons! Private study offers students an opportunity to work one-on-one with a specialist and receive more individual attention than we as choir directors can provide. Lessons are equally valuable for students at any skill level! That being said, we strongly encourage lessons for any student interested in auditioning for ILMEA District/All-State choirs, performing at our annual Vocal Festival, and/or advancing to membership in our auditioned choral ensembles.
We are proud to offer lessons during the school day at North High. Private lesson teachers are not district employees, but rather screened independent contractors. Payment for lessons is handled between the teacher and family.
Students typically take ½ period lessons (25 minutes) once a week, and are scheduled during a study hall or music class. All private teachers are asked to adhere to a standard rate range for lesson time (typically $25-$30 per weekly lesson). Lesson rates at off-campus sites vary by teacher and their professional experience.
If you are interested in lessons but may be limited by financial need, please reach out to a director about available financial assistance.
