PRIVATE APPLIED LESSONS
Private lessons focus on instrument-specific pedagogy that cannot be addressed during group band class. Private lessons are the primary method by which students prepare for Nevada All-State auditions, solo & ensemble competition, and most importantly, college scholarship/admission auditions. For many, this process begins as early as 6th grade and jumpstarts students for the demands of competitive high school playing.
