Private Lessons
In addition to individual band classes, the Ranger Band also has a wonderful staff of private lesson instructors. Each instructor is an expert on their individual instruments, and has been selected to teach in our school district by Hays CISD Band Staff. Students who take private lessons progress at a much faster rate and have more success with music.
Each instrument has special needs and tendencies, and we partner with some of the finest trained professionals in their fields. There is no substitute for taking lessons with an individual who performs or specializes on a specific instrument, and we work to find the best fit for each of our band members.
Many think that “private lessons” or “tutoring” are only needed for kids who are struggling with their instrument … while it is great for “extra help” as it suggests, those students who are excelling on their instruments benefit equally and usually excel to a whole new level of performance.
Private lessons are weekly and last 30 minutes or half a class period. Lesson times are arranged between the lesson instructor and the student. Due to Covid-19 protocols, all students will be taught virtually, during the school day, as well as before or after school. Other times may be possible, but need to be discussed with the lesson teacher. Private lessons are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED for every student the Wallace Band program.
