The Advantages to Private Music Lessons

Individual attention:
  • private lessons focus on the individual's strengths and weaknesses

Appropriate pace:
  • A group class that involves students with a variety of music skills will deprive both slower and faster learners of the attention they need
Private lessons:
  • Tempo of instruction is structured towards a student's learning pace, stopping whenever necessary
  • Able to review concepts, repeat material, or to explore a topic in greater depth that the student shows an interest in
Skill Development:
  • for more advanced students, private instruction is necessary to focus on macro and micro issues such as complex/alternate fingerings, exploring the finer points of musical expression and interpretation
  • issues such as proper technique and hand position are also better dealt with privately
Progress:
  • Progress is always faster in a private lesson than in a group lesson
Stability
  • private lessons follow an individualized plan developed to address the needs and skills of each student
