Private Music Instruction

Private instruction provides the foundation for a sound musical education.  The instructors assembled within the Washington Brass Institute represent a great blend of seasoned educators and accomplished artists. Private lessons of 30 and 60 minutes in length are offered for students of all levels, including beginners,  on  trumpet, french horn, trombone, euphonium, baritone, and tuba.

Select students within WBI will have the opportunity to participate in workshops, masterclasses, and recitals which give every student valuable performance experience and feedback from a variety of teachers.

The Washington Brass Institute faculty offers private lessons which are are to be arranged with each artist.  Private lessons can begin at any time during the year and there are no long term contracts.  Pricing is individualized per teacher based on the musicians skill level and lesson time. Some teachers are available for in-home lessons for an additional fee.
