Private lessons teachers offer young musicians years of experience in playing, performing, and teaching and give students an organized guided way to improve and excel in music. In our ongoing quest to make the world a better place, one musician at a time, we have put up this list of private teachers. All of the teachers on this list are approved and highly endorsed by the WHS Instrumental Music Department, and we have been given permission to put their names and phone numbers on our website. If you have any questions about private lessons in general or about who to take lessons from, please do not hesitate to Contact a Director.
