Private Lessons
Private music lessons are the most effective and efficient way to teach students a musical instrument. At Wild Roots, our goal as instructors is to lay a solid foundation, teaching each student proper technique of their instrument, as well as the ability to read accurately and confidently, the language of music notation.
