A good time for many students to begin private lessons is during their elementary school years. We can provide a list of questions that you may use when interviewing a prospective private teacher or information that will help you to choose an appropriate instrument to study. An excellent resource for parents who are considering private lessons for their children or themselves is The Harmonious Child: Every Parent's Guide to Musical Instruments, Teachers, and Lessons (ISBN 1-58761-171-6). It is written by Beth Luey and Stella Saperstein and was published by Celestial Arts (www.tenspeed.com) in 2003. This book is worth a trip to your public library!
