Private lessons are a huge part of the Howard Band program. With larger classes compared to 6th grade beginner band, private lessons give the students a consistent "one-on-one" experience with an approved professional on their specific instrument. As they progress, lessons become more important to the growth of each individual, each band, and the entire program. We encourage every student to consider lessons even if they have not taken in the past. We also encourage parents and students alike to communicate with the directors regarding any questions or concerns about lessons.
