Private Lesson Teachers
Music lessons are vital to the success of the individual musician and the overall music program. Any student who is interested should look into private study.
The following is a list of instrumental music teachers that are available for teaching. It should be noted that this is not intended to be an exclusive list. These teachers are well qualified and highly recommended. If any of these teachers encounter a full schedule, they may still be able to refer you to another teacher who may not appear on this list but is indeed a fine teacher. The Ohio Light Opera may also have instructors available during the summer months. Please call 330-263-2345 for more information.
Each individual teacher will determine the cost and location of the lessons, and all teachers should be contacted directly. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the WCS Instrumental Music staff.
Scholarships are available for 5th-12th grade students seeking private music instruction through the Music Parents Association. Please see the form below for further details.
