Westside High School Private Lessons
This year we have brought together a very talented pool of educators to benefit our students outside of class. They are all highly qualified professionals that have excelled at both education and performance. Lessons with an instructor are highly encouraged but not a requirement. If a student does decide to commit to private lessons, they are committing for the Fall and Spring semesters. This is so that the teachers can truly impact the students playing abilities.
Who should take private lessons?
ALL STUDENTS are encouraged to take individual lessons!
Why take private lessons?
This is one of the biggest questions asked when considering lessons. Private lessons allow the student to get frequent critique on material that will most likely not be taught in class. Examples of this are All Region/All City Etudes, Solo and Ensemble music, and College audition materials. The instructor works to improve upon whatever the student is currently in process of mastering while providing reinforcement of crucial music fundamentals.
When do lessons begin?
Most lessons will happen during the school day on Thursday (pending availability of time by the student). Some lessons will have to be taught after school.
How much do lessons cost?
