Private Lessons
It is strongly recommended that all students take private lessons if at all possible. We provide quality orchestra instruction in class but those that take private lessons improve at a quicker pace and gain a stronger command of their instrument. This one-on-one attention from a professional is vital for students wishing to master a musical instrument.
