The Advantages to Private Music Lessons
Individual attention:
Appropriate pace:
- private lessons focus on the individual's strengths and weaknesses
Appropriate pace:
- A group class that involves students with a variety of music skills will deprive both slower and faster learners of the attention they need
- Tempo of instruction is structured towards a student's learning pace, stopping whenever necessary
- Able to review concepts, repeat material, or to explore a topic in greater depth that the student shows an interest in
- for more advanced students, private instruction is necessary to focus on macro and micro issues such as complex/alternate fingerings, exploring the finer points of musical expression and interpretation
- issues such as proper technique and hand position are also better dealt with privately
- Progress is always faster in a private lesson than in a group lesson
- private lessons follow an individualized plan developed to address the needs and skills of each student
