So, why should we have our children take private lessons if they are already in a band?

Learning to play a musical instrument can be a more daunting task than a student (or parent) may expect.  Fingers, tongue, breath, posture, note reading, and counting all come into play when this foreign object is put into a student’s hand! Private lessons are for anyone, not just music-career bound musicians.  A private instructor can increase a musician's opportunity of musical success and fun!  Below is a list private lesson teachers in Missoula!!
