Benefits
One of the purposes of private lessons is to provide
students with the technical skills to achieve real
enjoyment through music-making. As adults, what we do for
a living provides food for our families, but music
provides food for our souls.

In the short term, with greater skills a child will have
greater confidence amongst his/her peers in school orchestras
and great pride in being a leader. In Middle School and
High School many of the available field trips are for the music
groups, but often only the "top" groups participate.

In the long term, I can think of no finer social activity than
sitting down with three friends and reading a Beethoven
String Quartet!

Of course, there are many benefits to learning an instrument,
including developing coordination, mental discipline, performance
confidence, organizational skills, and emotional expression.
