Private Lessons and Teachers

PRIVATE LESSONS

Private lessons will be offered at HMMS before, during, and after school. Our instructors are highly qualified and have been teaching at Head for years. Fees for lessons will range from $20-30 for 25 minutes depending on the instructor. Lessons are offered once a week for the entire school year.

It is strongly recommended that your child takes private lessons. Due to the large size of classes, students are limited in the amount of individual attention they can receive on a daily basis from us. A private instructor can provide one-on-one attention and offer expertise on the student’s instrument and his or her performance progress. The teacher can model, make detailed embouchure adjustments, and provide immediate feedback- all which are essential to good musical growth. Private lessons will only enhance a student’s playing ability, performance and enjoyment of their instrument. Students who play oboe, bassoon and French horn as well as those interested in auditioning for Mid-State bands are especially encouraged to seek professional private instruction.
