PRIVATE FRENCH HORN LESSONS
The French horn is one of the most difficult instruments to learn, especially for beginners. Private French horn lessons are an excellent way to augment what your student learns in band and orchestra class.
Lessons are individualized and tailored for each student, their current ability, ongoing progress and growth potential.
In-person lessons are scheduled throughout the school year and summer.
Group lessons provide both individualized coaching and sectional playing in a small group setting
Remote Lessons are also available – “They’re a great option”
When weather, transportation or other situations arise, remote lessons are always available as an alternative to in-person.
Remote lessons keep students engaged, motivated and learning in a structured and encouraging environment.
