All band members are HIGHLY encouraged to take private lessons. The better you are on your instrument, the better our organization will be. PLUS, a private lesson teacher will help students grow at their own pace and prescribe an indiviualized plan for weekly progress! A list of private instructors is available in the Band Room or you may scroll down for their contact information. FYI - most of our top students study privately with one of the teachers listed below & as a result they are also members of our most advanced ensemble at Kanapaha Middle School!
