Midway ISD Fine Arts Private Lesson Program

Supplemental individual private lessons are offered as enrichment to classroom instruction and are designed to utilize the broad scope of characteristic literature available for every instrument, voice or actor.  Rather than stress the singular goal of competition preparation, the emphasis instead is on nurturing the independent thinking and individual performance skills critical to the development of the maturing performer. Music private lessons focus on acquiring refined levels of sight-reading and technical proficiency in tandem with the attainment of an advanced sense of musical instinct and interpretation. Theatre private lessons give students an opportunity to build on fundamental acting skills and techniques while also working toward building a repertoire of monologues ready for auditions.
