Private lessons are one-on-one teaching sessions that provide students with individualized and specialized training on their instrument. These lessons are taught by highly qualified instrumental teachers whose sole purpose during these lessons is to help your child develop as a musician. This includes but is not limited to development in the areas of technical playing ability, musical literacy, and confidence in one’s performance skills. Students at every level will benefit from taking private lessons.
Basic information you need to know:
1. Private lessons are $25 for a half hour lesson every week.
2. Lessons CAN happen during band class. Lessons can also be scheduled before/after school.
