What are
Private Lessons?
Private Lessons are offered through the band program and are available to every band student. The private lesson staff includes degreed educators who are handpicked by the directors. Individual instruction is extremely beneficial due to the one-on-one teaching environment. The private teacher can design a program that meets each student’s needs, allowing each student to progress at his/her own rate of ability. Professional teachers on each instrument will be available to teach these lessons during band class & before or after school.
Much of the individual success within the Killian Band Program can be attributed to the private lesson program and its superior staff. The high number of students enrolled in the private lesson program in the Killian Band has allowed a high standard of performance to be maintained. Supplemental lessons are not required, but are strongly recommended at all levels.
Private lessons are crucial for student success!
