Taking private lessons is an excellent way of improving skills on a stringed instrument.  There are many options available for private instruction.  There are high school students within the district who could be introduced to younger students for a mentoring opportunity.  There are also many professional teachers that teach out of their homes, as well as music schools in various locations near our district.  If you are interested in looking into hooking up with a student mentor, contact Ms. McCarty.  If you are interested in looking into a professional teacher, look first on the "Helpful LInks" link on this website.  There are also a few scholarship possibilities that could aid in funding a private teacher experience.  Any questions can be directed to Ms. McCarty.
