Private Lessons
Private Lessons are available for all instruments. We firmly believe Private Lessons are the best way to improve on your instrument. We have an amazing staff of professional musicians/ educators ready to share their expertise with our students. Last year we had about 73% of band students enrolled in lessons. We would love to raise that percentage this year! (Percussion will contact Mr. Bingaman for percussion lessons.) If you have already scheduled your private lessons with your teacher, then please disregard! Once I have received your form response, I will forward it to the corresponding lesson teacher for them to get in contact with you. Please note that the NISD mandated Private Lesson rate has increased to $25 per lesson. This is paid directly to the lesson teacher. To keep up with the rate of inflation, our Fine Arts department has worked very hard to keep our Private Lesson teachers paid fairly to support their livelihood. If you are interested in a Private Lesson scholarship, please let me know! Our Fine Arts department will provide a $15 scholarship on private lessons, bringing your cost down to $10 per lesson. These scholarship opportunities are limited, so if you need some financial assistance for lessons, please let me know soon. If you have any questions, please let me know! ~ Rothman Tafel
