Private Lessons

A private lesson is a one-on-one session (generally 30 minutes) with a professional on your child's instrument.  They occur each week.  Many students have their private lesson at school during their band class, although some occur before or after school.  Most lessons are $30/week.

Private lessons are not like tutoring, in which only students who are struggling take them.  This can be true for some, but the vast majority of students take private lessons to get ahead.  Their instructor will give them techniques, goals, and exercises that are specific to their needs, ability, and interest.

"A student who practices consistently on their own is hard to beat, unless, of course, they're also taking private lessons!"
