More Information
For students showing a keen interest in music, all music education professionals recommend ​starting private music instruction as early as possible.
 
Studying with a private teacher is a part of every student musician's growth because they help students grow as disciplined individuals, and they love music even more.
​

  • Private instruction is not tutoring. It benefits all students, and can be especially motivating to gifted students.
     

  • Private lessons allow one on one time with a professional who actually plays the instrument.
     

  • Advanced skills are taught [in private lessons] that can't be touched on in traditional music classes.
     

  • Greater variety of music literature keeps kids interested and practicing
     

  • Private lessons allow for more opportunities for performance and advancement (Youth Orchestra, All State Festivals, Invitational events).
     

  • Private study makes the school-based ensembles stronger as more kids will have advanced techniques.
