The future success of the Aubrey ISD Band Program will be due in large part to our private lesson program. The band directors have interviewed numerous musicians in the area and continue to hire highly qualified specialists to teach our students and supplement the band program. A large majority of our instructors have bachelor’s or master’s degrees in music and perform in numerous performing groups around the area as well as maintain successful studios in other districts.
 
Private lessons are an opportunity for your child to receive one on one help with a specialist on their particular instrument. Private lessons benefit young musicians of all ability levels. Students receive mostly group instruction during their band time. The larger bands often have a class size of anywhere from 35-50 students at one time. In order for a student to continue to develop their skills private lessons are strongly recommended by the directors. The more advanced student can move ahead of the class and continue to excel at their level, often learning skills and techniques that are very difficult to achieve in a full band situation. The less advanced student can benefit from lessons by receiving the extra attention that is needed to build confidence and continue to progress at a pace that is comfortable for them without the added pressure of keeping up with the class. Lesson teachers are able to spend time on specific needs of each individual.
