Private Lessons |
Our
school offers private music lessons in 2 locations: Pikesville/Baltimore
County and Owings Mills/Reisterstown area. Because no one learns in the same
pace, J. Friedman Music School emphasizes private lessons as important phase
in students’ development. Our experienced teachers analyze each student’s
strengths and weaknesses, and develop a lesson plan and classical program
individualized for each student. To achieve good results, it is also very
important to practice daily so weekly homeworks are
given to students. Parent involvement and support at home is an essential
component to student success. |
