Private Instructors

Private lesson instructors play a key role in helping our students grow as musicians. These specialized teachers offer one-on-one instruction tailored to each student’s instrument and skill level, reinforcing the fundamentals while helping them advance more quickly and confidently. Whether your child is just starting out or preparing for auditions and competitions, private lessons provide focused support that complements what they learn in class. Many of our instructors are professional musicians or experienced educators who are passionate about nurturing young talent.
