Why Take Private Lessons?
In a group setting like your child's Orchestra class, your student will not be able to benefit from the maximum individual attention he/she needs. The private teacher is able to meet with your student one-on-one weekly and meet your student's individual needs, allowing each student to progress at his/her own rate of ability. Unlike tutoring, private lessons are not needed just for those students that may be struggling. Private lessons are for every student. Students that may be struggling can get the extra help to improve, while the average to advanced players can learn more about their instrument, play more repertoire/take advantage of more performance opportunities, and receive instruction to keep them challenged outside of class.

The SRMS Orchestra Private Lesson Staff are experienced teachers, performers, and specialists on their instruments. They have been selected by the Orchestra Director and they have completed LISD background checks. These teachers are highly qualified professionals that work closely with Ms. Riddle to ensure each student's success. Private lessons are offered at Shadow Ridge before, during, and after school making lessons convenient for parents without the hassle of traveling. LISD has implemented a standard pay scale for all private teachers in our district, which is often more reasonable than rates of private teachers outside LISD. The recommended length of lesson time for Beginner students is 22 minutes once a week ($17.00 per lesson.) Camerata, Philharmonic, and Chamber Orchestra students will receive one 30-minute lesson once a week ($20.00 per lesson) with the option of upgrading to a 60-minute lesson (before/after school; $40.00) for serious students based upon the teacher's schedule. Families interested in private lessons for the current school year must complete the on-line form below. Please make sure all contact information is current - you will receive a confirmation e-mail after school starts, followed by an introductory e-mail from your child's private teacher which will include his/her syllabus, procedures, and payment policies. Please contact Ms. Riddle for any further questions or concerns. We look forward to having your student enrolled in private lessons at Shadow Ridge! |
