Private Lessons
Private Lesson Program
According to research, the average privately tutored student outperforms 98% of students taught only under standard classroom group instructions. Denton ISD offers a Private Lesson program before and after school, as well as during your student’s regular orchestra class. Teachers are available on each instrument. All teachers listed have been selected by interview, approved by the district, and screened through a background check. Lessons offered during school hours or in a district school building go for the reasonable price of $18 per lesson. The expectation is for students to take one lesson per week. All interested students should fill out the enrollment form on the last page of the student handbook. If you are interested in taking lessons during orchestra class at school, a teacher will be assigned to you. If you would like to take lessons outside of the program for an adjusted rate, please either use the teacher's contact information directly or contact Mr. Napier for assistance at rnapier@dentonisd.org.
