Why Should You Take Private Lessons?


Personalized Plan

With all the available learning options students have these days, it's easy to get sidetracked by every shortcut and hack you see on YouTube or TikTok. Without an organized, focused plan you'll invariably spend countless hours working on things that have no real impact on the goals you're trying to achieve.

Knowledgeable Feedback

Only by having immediate, hands-on feedback from an experienced player and teacher can you make the fullest and fastest improvement of which you are capable. Practicing is great. Practicing and having your progress monitored and evaluated by an accomplished musician is better!

Accountability

Accountability is the recognition and acknowledgment of our responsibilities, and being answerable for the outcomes of our actions, decisions, and mistakes. Will you practice appropriately and consistently on your own? Possibly. Are you more likely to do so knowing your progress will be reviewed on a regular basis. Almost definitely!
