Private Lessons

Please take advantage of the private lessons that are offered to Southside Band students. Each of these teachers is an accomplished musician and has much to offer you. Each teacher has their own schedule and charges different amounts for lessons. Please contact these teachers as soon as you can and get your lessons set-up. There is no better way to be a better player than to practice and to take private lessons.
