Private lessons are extremely beneficial for all band students, including those who are about to start their beginner year, or for students who have been playing for many years. There is nothing better than receiving one-on-one instruction from an expert on your instrument, and band directors rarely get to work one-on-one with a single student for extended periods of time during a band class. Private lessons play a HUGE role in the success of the Garcia Band!

WHO ARE PRIVATE LESSONS FOR?

Private lessons are for students who want to be as successful as possible on their instrument! Private Lessons are not just for students who are struggling with certain aspects of playing their instrument! Private Lessons are for ALL students who want to be great and have more support in reaching their goals! Try to think of it as enrichment, not remediation. Students who take weekly private lessons are able to develop and refine their skills at a much faster pace since they are able to receive the individualized instruction and specific attention each week.

WHO TEACHES PRIVATE LESSONS?

Our private lesson teachers are experienced educators and teachers who are approved through the district. They are experts on their instruments and will meet your child where they are and help to mold them into great musicians!

WHAT IS THE COST?

On average, $25-30 per 30 min lesson based on the instructor’s education and experience

HOW DOES IT WORK/HOW DO I ENROLL MY CHILD IN LESSONS?

Private Lessons can occur before school, during your child’s band class period, or after school depending on both the teacher’s availability and your family schedule. Below is a list of private lesson instructors and their instrument. Please fill out this GOOGLE FORM and we will send your lesson teacher your contact information. They will contact you as soon as possible. Many of these instructors also teach at other schools. As their schedule fills up, their availability to fit your child into both their schedule and your preferred times becomes less flexible. After completing the google form if you have not heard from a lesson instructor within a 3-5 days, please email michael.cortes@nisd.net and we will help to get you in touch with the lesson instructor.
