Private Lessons
It is recommended that all students take private lessons. This is the best way for students to enhance their musical knowledge and performance level. The most successful students in band almost always take private lessons. Most private lessons are taught at KHS, but some lesson instructors still teach over zoom or in rare instances at their house. Below is our list of lesson teachers (by instrument) and their contact information. Paying for private lessons is the responsibility of the student and their parents. There is a scholarship available for lessons from the band boosters, and you can contact the band directors for more information on that.
If you have any questions regarding private lessons, please email one of the directors or contact your private lesson teacher for more information.
