Music Lessons Why pay the extra money for private lessons when my child can take band or orchestra at school for free?
While the ensemble experience provided in a school setting is valuable and enjoyable for many students and gives young people an important introduction to their instrument, it’s impossible for band and orchestra teachers to give students in an ensemble class the individual attention they will need to really excel with their instrument. Band and orchestra teachers are required to have a certain level of proficiency in each of the instruments in their respective ensembles, but few have the same amount of skill and experience with each instrument, which means that despite their best efforts, your child will probably not receive the best instruction for their particular instrument. Students begin music training with a wide variety of natural abilities and in the process have unique difficulties. Private instruction tailors lessons to your child’s needs, allowing him or her to progress more quickly and reach a higher level of expertise.
