Private Lesson Teacher List
NOTHING WOULD HAVE A GREATER IMPACT ON OUR BAND IMPROVEMENT THAN INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE LESSONS!
Private lesson are not required but they really help. Just call someone on this list to schedule lessons. You do not need to contact band staff to schedule lessons- just call one of the private lesson teachers. Lesson payments will go directly to the lesson teacher. Most have a monthly payment system. If you know of any other high-quality teachers please email their names to Mr. Bone. Some of these teachers have a studio at their home or a music store. The high school band room is open Mondays and Thursdays 4-7pm for private lessons if they want to teach you at the school.
