Private Lessons Instructors

Private lessons are a great way for musicians to improve their skill level and get one-on-one advice from an experienced musician. Ray-Pec band students of all ages can use this list to seek a private lessons instructor. We try to maintain the most up to date list as we can, however, instructors on this list may or may not be available and each instructor sets their own rates and lesson procedures.
