[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has been begging for private lessons, because “everyone else does ”. We declined because she is in band and has class and plays/practices everyday, and is first chair in her instrument. My thought was that the private lessons were for those who have music as their #1 activity.  And that is not my kid, although she does love it and does well. We told her she can take private when everyday Band and extra playing/practice is not enough to keep up, or if she really wants more out of it.

Interesting enough, of the kids that my kid knows take private lessons only a few made county/state. We are at an avg sized high school with an accomplished band/music program. [/quote]

I’m 15:48, and I will say I took private lessons for a few years in HS  :lol: I just wanted to take private lessons, and my parents said sure. I will say that I never had any interest in trying out for higher levels bands, though I agreed to ONCE at the pressing of my private teacher.  I think she was a good private teacher but she wasn’t professional anything. IIRC, she was in school to become a band director. She lived in our town and I’m sure the lessons were cheap. [/quote]
