Private Teachers
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 regarding a specific teacher, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Peter, Mrs. Blake, Mr. Shiller, or Mr. Ray.
