How band instrument lessons work.

A weekly private lesson helps a band student keep up and get ahead. Lessons at George's are 30 minutes, one-on-one, in a room on the lower level, and they work on the music your student brings home from band.

Chris Valerio and Owen McGowan both teach the school band instruments. Need the instrument? It's in our school rental program, with the method book, reeds and valve oil on the shelf upstairs.

Teachers: Chris Valerio and Owen McGowan.
