Private lessons: 

Lessons can be weekly or bi-weekly. Cost varies by private teacher. Mrs. VanderHaeghen is available for help during Monday or Friday mornings by appointment. Some private teachers do virtual lessons, and others may be able to teach you at school during the day depending on their schedule.

Band classes at Eastwood are structured as group lessons for a variety of instrumentalists. While this is a good way to teach like-skills, it does not always allow for the fastest possible individual development. Students who study privately generally advance at a quicker pace and have a better chance at achieving their full music potential. The following list is not all of the private instructors in the area, but rather those who currently or in the past have taught MSDWT students. If you find that everyone you contact has a full schedule, please contact your director so that we may work together in finding a suitable private instructor. While it is not a prerequisite, private lessons and ISSMA Solo & Ensemble Contest are strongly encouraged for all Eastwood band members.

This list of tutors is being provided solely for the convenience of parents and students but should not be considered an endorsement of these individuals and their qualifications. These individuals are not employees of the Metropolitan School District of Washington Township.
