Private
Lesson 
Staff

We are fortunate to be able to offer our students private lessons. Each faculty member is vetted and approved by the Cobb County Schools and most are performers in local orchestras and chamber groups. Private lessons assist students by providing one-on-one attention and training with a specialist on his or her instrument. It is an invaluable way for students to get specific instruction that they simply cannot receive in the group setting. Students who take private lessons are more likely to excel at competitions such as All-Region Band and Solo and Ensemble and generally find their band classes to be more engaging. Lessons are offered during band class and after school.

 

Private study is strongly recommended for each student, however, it is not required.

 

If you are interested in studying privately, see your director as soon as possible!
