Private Lessons

Private Lessons

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 60 students. A recent survey of one All-State Band revealed that 80% of those students in the band studied privately. Simply put, private lessons work! At Forestview High School, we encourage parents to consider private lessons for their child. A list of suggested instructors is listed below:
