Private Teachers
Local Private Teachers
Private instrument lessons give students the opportunity to get one on one attention from a teacher who is an expert on a particular instrument. Students are typically more motivated to practice and are given challenges and techniques that they may not be offered in the full band or orchestra ensemble. Every student progresses at a different rate. In the private setting, lessons are tailored to the specific needs of the student. Through private lessons, students should see progress that is more consistent and increased enthusiasm for music. Below is a list of some private teachers who teach in the area. Please feel free to contact your director to discuss which teacher might be a good fit for your child.
