Private lessons

Private lessons are one-on-one time with a specialist on your student’s instrument. 82% of the Leander Band is in private lessons. Private lessons are NOT tutorials or remediation. They are enrichment that will allow your student to get the most out of their band experience. Most lessons take place during a child’s band class or before or after school.
