Individualized instruction provides an excellent opportunity for student musicians to improve their skills and make the most possible musical progress. Interaction between a young musician and a skilled teacher provides a wealth of motivation and knowledge that can only be achieved through private instruction. Students at all levels can benefit from private lessons:

• Advanced musicians – advanced techniques and extra challenges are possible
• Average level – focus on the musical needs and progressive skills of the student
• Basic level – extra help or “catch up” with progress of band class or grade level

There are many private instructors in our area, and cost and length of lessons vary. The following is a list of local instructors who have worked well with students in the past.
