Private Lessons

It is highly recommended that students take private lessons on their instruments. Private lessons offer students individual instruction on their instrument. They will receive attention on fine details that might be missed in the large classroom setting. The more students involved in private lessons, the more advanced music our ensemble an conquer. Below is a list of suggested instructors. They are organized by instrument and appear in alphabetical order. Prices subject to change.

There are several other great teachers around, this is just a starting point. Miles Ahead Music, Gittli Music, & Mel Owens Music all have great teachers available at their music stores as well.
