Private Lesson Program

At Creekside Intermediate, we believe every student has the potnetial to grow into an outstanding musician. Private lessons are one of the best ways to support your child's individual progress.

• 1-on-1 guidance from highly qualified instructions (many with advanced music degrees)
• Customized technical exercises and solo literature for each student's instrument
• Preparation for Solo and Ensemble contests and other performances
• Extra challenge for advanced students ready to push their skills further
• Opportunities that often lead to musical leadership and long-term success

Why private lessons for my child?
While orchestra class provides excellent instruction, it is designed for a full ensemble. Private lessons allow for one-on-one instruction that addresses your child's specific needs, challenges, and goals.

What do private lessons cost?
Our private instructors are considered "Level 3" instructors, meaning they hold a degree in music. Lessons are $30 per half-hour lesson.

Where do lessons take place?
Most private lessons are held at Creekside Intermediate before or after school, although some families may arrange off-campus lessons directly with the teacher.

How can I tell if my child is a good candidate?
A good candidate for private lessons is a student who practices regularly but may feel bored or frustrated with their progress in class, a student who plans to make music an important part of their school career, or a student whose parents want to give them an extra advantage in their musical development.
