It is the goal of the band department to provide the very best learning experiences for each student. One of these learning experiences is the opportunity for a student to study privately with a professional instrumentalist. This enrichment opportunity is available to all band students in grades 6-12. The private lesson program allows interested students to receive additional individual help in their musical training. This individual attention generally improves the performance level of the individual student and also has a positive effect on the band in which the student participates. One of the greatest contributing factors to the success to the band is the active involvement of our students in the private lesson program. The key to success with this opportunity is to start early and continue throughout the year.
7 Reasons Why You Should Sign Up For Private Lessons:
7 Reasons Why You Should Sign Up For Private Lessons:
Greater accountability: Private lessons provides no way to escape accountability. Either you practiced or you didn’t and it’s quickly apparent which it was! Private lessons teach personal discipline and build a strong work ethic, character traits absolutely necessary for success in life.
One-on-one attention: It is difficult for teachers to give individual attention in a large ensemble setting. In contrast, a private teacher is able to note areas of struggle and give individual-specific assistance.
Pursue individual interests: In music class, the teacher must teach from a specific curriculum. Repertoire cannot possibly be selected based on everyone’s personal preference, so the music may or may not be a style everyone enjoys. With private lessons, a child has a greater opportunity to pursue his or her own musical tastes. A child who enjoys his/her music will naturally be more motivated!
Instruction based on learning styles: Every child learns a different way. Some are aural, some are visual, some are hands-on, etc. Private lessons help children achieve the greatest amount of success in the least amount of time.
Provides a sense of identity: Private lessons give children a sense of identity. It is a special time just for them where they can meet with their teacher and work together to improve their own skills and build confidence.
Not hampered by group ability: If a child is naturally gifted, private lessons are a great way for students to explore their talents.
Opportunity to perfect individual skills: With the one-on-one attention a child receives in the private lesson, he or she is able to focus on developing individual skills. Group rehearsals are not the place to work on specific parts and the difficulties that go along with them. Individual practice time at home and time spent in private lessons are the time to work on getting your part perfected and improving your skills.
