Private Lessons
The Rowlett HS Band program offers our students a fully-staffed faculty from which private lessons are available. Each faculty member is approved by the Garland ISD and most are performers in local orchestras and chamber groups. This program is designed to assist students one-on-one with a specialist on his/her instrument. It is a convenient way for students to get extra help because many teachers schedule lessons during band class or after school. Our district has the cost for High School level lessons at $20 per 30 minute lesson. Private study is strongly recommended for each student, however, is not required. Private lessons may help a student progress twice as fast as group instruction and may help the student better prepare for participation in concert band activities, region band auditions, and solo-ensemble contest. Below is a list of our private instructors and their email address.
