Private Lessons
We highly recommend that ALL students take private lessons. Lessons are the best and fastest way to get better at your instrument, and they're truly an investment in your future. In band class, it's often difficult to receive individual attention and instruction on your instrument with fifty other people in the room; in a private lesson, it's just you and the teacher. It becomes much easier to pinpoint problems you may be having, help you fix them, and make you a better musician!
Below is a list of private instructors we recommend to students and parents who are seeking private lessons, as well as piano accompanists for solo and ensemble festival.
