There is nothing to help students improve their level of playing like private lessons and the commitment to daily practice!

It is important to select a teacher that demands your best every lesson.  The two most important ingredients in personal improvement is your personal commitment to daily practice on your instrument and a private lesson teacher who demands that you come to your lessons prepared!
