Private Teacher

Private teachers are musicians who teach lessons to individual students.

Private teachers are musicians who share musical knowledge of their instrument or vocal performance to students in one-on-one and studio class settings. Some teach multiple instruments, others choose to specialize in just one. Most private teachers are also professional performers and their students benefit from their wealth of performance experience. The most effective teachers are also passionate about the practice of teaching itself. Every private teacher has their own unique teaching pedagogy (teaching style and philosophy) that has been developed over their career as performers and educators.

Private teaching is an integral part of music performance and maintaining the art form for future generations to practice and enjoy. This career path becomes a part of almost every musician’s journey at some point and can be an extremely rewarding way to share what you have learned. Those with a passion for people, teaching, performance, and the mechanics of creating music make great private teachers.
