Applied Private Instruction

This is a new and exceiting program at Bellaire that provides a high quality enhancement to classroom instruction. Teachers are all specialists on their instrument. Most of our teachers are college and professional musicians in the Houston area and have a music degree. List of Private Lessons Staff here. Private study is extremely valuable to the individual student and highly encouraged. Private study is offered as enrichment, NOT remedial instruction. It is encouraged for the complete development of each student’s potential as a performing musician. With 100+ students in the band, one band director cannot accomplish what individual lessons on a weekly basis with a teacher can accomplish.

  1. ALL students are ENCOURAGED to study privately.
  2. Lessons will be weekly.
  3. Talk to your director if you need more information.
  4. Please have your student sign up as soon as possible

Complete information, including call times, for the rest of semester can be found on the calendar.
