Approved List of Lessons Teachers

Private instruction is a highly valuable resource to all developing musicians. Having a private teacher outside the regular school day will transform your playing, and set you up for success for auditions throughout the school year. Colleges and universities are looking to award music scholarships to deserving students who have excelled on his or her instrument. Almost all students who are awarded scholarships for music take private lessons. See the list below and ask Mr. King if you have any additional questions.
