8 Private Lessons Private Lessons are a great way to fast forward your child's progress. Lessons are taught one to one, dealing with just your child's skills. Here are some excellent area teachers: Private Voice Lessons: Julia Wallace: (Olmsted Performing Arts) Amy Hanratty: a.hanratty@sbcglobal.net (Olmsted Falls resident) Shane O'Neill: (Olmsted Performing Arts) Norma Codispoti: (Baldwin Wallace University) Lynne Hoffman Engel: (Baldwin Wallace University) Private Piano and Voice Lessons: Lawrence Wallace: (Olmsted Falls Middle School) Private Piano Lessons: Lori Scheutzow (Olmsted Falls resident) For more information, contact members of the Olmsted Falls Music Staff. Instrumental Lessons Private lessons will be offered this year on flute, clarinet, saxophone, cornet, trumpet, trombone, baritone, tuba, percussion, voice, and maybe, depending on the amount of interest, French horn, oboe and bassoon. (Availability of lessons will depend on the number of responses for each instrument.) This is an excellent opportunity to help your child enjoy band and choir more by being able to participate at a higher level than before. All students can greatly benefit from lessons. The advanced player will gain a greater depth of understanding and solo performance while the less experienced player will get a chance to practice the fundamentals they need. Fee is $14.00 for each once a week private lesson. Contact Mr. Feller at or mfeller@ofcs.net for more information or to setup lessons for your child.
