Private Lessons

Private lessons offer incredible contributions to musical growth. While students receive a fair amount of individual attention in their group lessons during school, individualized lessons allow a teacher to cater to each students individual learning style and focus on that student's progress for the entire lesson.

This allows the student to excel exponentially faster and develop into a truly remarkable musician capable of taking solos, leading his/her peers, and helping shape the overall sound of the ensemble.

Below is a list of local musicians who offer private music lessons. Each of them charge a different rate, but it is recommended that students in 7th and 8th grade take one 30-45 minute lesson every week. Typically, this will average out to between $25 and $45 a lesson.

Please note that the teachers listed below are available to teach students on a space available basis. All lesson rates, schedules, and locations are specific to each teacher and can be discussed by contacting teachers at the email address or phone number listed below.
