Private Lesson Program 2025 - 2026
Private lessons are offered as an enrichment program in band for interested students, with sessions occurring once a week and arranged directly with the lesson teacher. The fee for private study is consistent district-wide, currently set at $25 per lesson. These lessons can be scheduled during band class, before school, or after school, although slots during the school day are in high demand and allocated on a "first contact, first serve" basis. Students are strongly encouraged to participate, as private lessons often lead to noticeable improvements in musical skills and can foster continued success in music-related tasks.
