Private Lessons
Many of our students take private lessons and ask for recommendations from our directors/other parents. Below is an evolving list of possible private instructors with whom families have had success. (If you are currently taking private lessons with a teacher who is accepting new students, and would recommend your teacher to others, please let us know at info@wlmarchingband.org)
