Private Instruction

While all students can be successful with the musical instruction provided through the Higgins Band program, some choose to seek extra challenges that may not be accessible in a large group lesson or ensemble setting.  Other students may take advantage of private lessons as a source of extra help with their band music, much like students seeking tutoring in other subject areas.  Whatever the reason, private lessons are an excellent supplement to public school music instruction and afford students more playing time, and an intensive one-on-one musical experience.  Click here for more on how private lessons are beneficial to all music students.
