SUMMER PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS
LET’S TRY TO HAVE 100% OF THE BAND TAKING SUMMER LESSONS! NOTHING WOULD HAVE A GREATER IMPACT ON OUR BAND THAN INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE LESSONS!
Private lessons are not required but they really help. Just call someone on this list to schedule lessons. You do not need to contact band staff to schedule lessons- just call one of the private lesson teachers. Lesson payments will go directly to the lesson teacher. Most have a monthly payment system. If you know of any other high-quality teachers please email their names to Mr. Bone. Some of these teachers have a studio at their home or a music store.
We will also have the BHS Band Room available on the dates listed below:
