Students are strongly encouraged to study privately. Private lessons offer opportunities to students that cannot be obtained in a large ensemble rehearsal. Often students develop bad habits that can only be addressed by a professional in a private learning situation. Private lessons teach students about accountability and responsibility and aid in the development of regular practice habits. A good private teacher will know the lesson materials and solos that are appropriate to their current abilities, and will have a sequence of materials available to develop them to their fullest potential. Attention to details particular to the instrument can really only be effectively addressed privately.
Private lessons are not intended to be remedial. The need for individual instruction, tutorage and mentoring actually increases as a student advances. Inherently, students who study privately perform better than those who do not. While it is not required to study privately to be in the band program, nor is it a factor for grades, chair, or ensemble placement, it is a reality that the students who study privately do better than those who do not. The quality of the entire school band program is reliant on the musical growth of its members. In any fine musical organization, the majority of students study privately. We all want St. Charles West to have the finest band program in the region.
The following teachers are among the recommended ones who are closer to St. Charles. There are many others in the St. Louis region. The Band Director will gladly assist you to find a quality private instructor.
