Private Teachers
In our ongoing quest to make the world a better place, one good musician at a time, we have decided to put up a list of private teachers. All of the teachers on this list are approved and highly endorsed by the Westlake High School Instrumental Music Department, and we have been given permission to put their names and phone numbers on our website. If you have any questions regarding a specific teacher, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Peter, Mrs. Blake, or Mr. Gangemi.
