Why Take Private Lessons?

While learning to make music with others is invaluable, private lessons offer the only real way for a child to learn the mechanics of the instrument and/or voice on a deeper level. As their directors, our primary focus is to work on developing the skills necessary for performing in a larger ensemble.

An advantage of private instruction is that each student will gain more competency on their individual instrument. As students become more competent, they, in turn, feel more confident. Confidence ultimately leads to greater musical enjoyment and a broader sense of accomplishment as an individual and within the ensemble. The life skills students learn from studying privately and participating in band include: learning to solve problems independently, budget time, cope with stress, take pride in an accomplishment, and contribute as a member of a team.
