Private lessons are an outstanding way for band students to advance on their instrument.  One-on-one lessons allow the private teacher to focus on the individual student’s abilities and needs.  Private teachers who have extensive experience on their instrument are able to give students advice and suggestions that they cannot get in a full band class setting.  Students who enroll in weekly private lessons should see results and great improvements in their performance.  Below is a list of private lesson teachers that are recommended by the Spartan Bands staff.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the band directors.
