Private Lessons

Private lessons are for children with special needs or children who require more specific skill training and adults (to register children, please email James Steele at jasteele6@neiu.edu .  In general we have found children do better in group lessons. They learn from watching the other children complete skills and drills. Children frequently enjoy being with and making friends during group lesson.
