Private Lessons

The teachers listed below are available for private lessons 

To schedule lessons, either during school (band period, lunch period, study hall), after school at NCHS or outside of school hours at a private studio**, please contact the teacher directly for availability. District 203 sets the private teacher fee and collects it, in advance, one quarter at a time. The district, in turn, pays the private teachers. Please fill out and return the Lesson Form to your private teacher at the start of each quarter. Click here for the form.

If you would like additional contact information for the following teachers please contact DJ Alstadt or click on the teacher’s name to email directly.

**Teachers who give lessons off campus must be contacted directly and paid according to their rates. They are not restricted to District 203 prices for their lessons.
