Q: Why should I take private lessons? 

A: Private lessons are one of the most valuable investments in your child’s music education. Students will receive personalized instruction that addresses their specific technical needs. The 1-on-1 lessons allow students to work on music they do not learn in orchestra class, all while advancing at their own pace. Private lessons are also a great way to support students struggling in school orchestra, who are ready for more challenging music, or who do not have the opportunity to learn an instrument in school. Playing a string instrument develops perseverance, responsibility, self-discipline, coordination, time management, increased concentration, self-confidence, and creativity.
