Private Lessons

We are fortunate at Beavercreek High School to have a wonderful private lesson staff that offer lessons during the school day. If you are interested in Private Lessons, please reach out directly to a lesson teacher below based on the instrument that you play.

If you need suggestions for other teachers besides the ones on this list, please email Mr. Frost or Mr. Strickland directly.
