find a private teacher  
Suggestion for finding the right private teacher include:
  • Asking your school music teacher for recommendations.
  • Asking orchestra, band, or choir contacts for recommendations.
  • Asking guest clinicians for suggestions.
  • Accessing the sites listed at right and selecting several individuals to contact.
Knowing what to ask may seem daunting so here are some tips.

Discuss:
  • Goals for the student. Be as realistic as possible.
  • Frequency of lessons - one lesson per week is typical.
  • Practice expectations - how many hours per day/ days per week are expected.
  • Methodology: For example, Suzuki or traditional.
  • Cost and payment schedule.
  • Whether a trial lesson is possible.
