Private Lessons

Private lessons are based on the individual needs and goals of the student receiving the private lessons. In a student’s first private lesson, he or she has a conversation with the teacher, and they develop a plan together called a learning contract. The student’s interests, needs, and goals determine the focus of the private lesson learning contract. They revisit the learning contract each week to assess the student’s progress and make a plan for future lessons so that each lesson is valuable.
