Taking Private Lessons Enhances Student Learning!

March 24, 2009

As one might expect, private lessons on a musical instrument are the best way to improve performance skills.  The one-on-one approach allows the student to benefit from the individual attention as opposed to a teacher monitoring a class of over fifty. 

A recent survey of students in the All-State Band revealed that approximately 80 % of the students in the band studied privately.

Students are generally more inclined to practice diligently for a weekly music assignment and this discipline increases the student’s enjoyment with their instrument.

Mr. Walters, Ms. Ryan, or Mr. Kurt will be more than happy to assist in the selection of a private teacher.
