Private Lessons

GISD is very fortunate to have an outstanding staff of private lessons teachers. The private lesson program is designed to enrich and further the level of performance of the musician. One on one individual instruction is one of the main reasons why orchestra programs are extremely successful in Texas. Even though private study is not a requirement for participation in the musical organization, it should be noted that most orchestra students who take advantage of this excellent opportunity progress much more quickly and tend to be the most successful at competitions and chair tests. It is a common misconception that private lessons are for students who have fallen behind on their instrument. That is not the case, while private lessons will benefit those students, private lessons are designed and intended more for students that are advancing and proving successful on their instrument. All of our private teachers are professional musicians.

Private lessons are provided for interested students as an enrichment program in orchestra.
