Private Lessons
Private Lesson Teacher Recommendations
Private lessons offer individual help for your growing string player. Private lesson teachers can focus on tone and intonation, performing a solo, and more advanced techniques that we may not have time to cover in depth in class. Private lessons are usually once a week and range from 30-45 minutes (more advanced students often take 1 hour lessons). Students should study with a specialist on his or her instrument. Private lessons can help challenge and motivate our advanced students and offer extra help for a student who may be struggling.
