Hello All,
This week there are no events happening after school, please make sure your children are practicing hard at home for District Honor Band auditions or for our upcoming concert on October 26th.
PRIVATE LESSONS:
We have a number of students who have started private lessons since my private lesson post. Students who take a private lesson either once a week or once every two weeks find that they enjoy band class more, achieve a higher chair position, and are prepared to participate in District Honor Band events. Here are some of the instruments taking lessons throughout the week at school:
Mondays: We currently have a Clarinet Teacher visiting the band room.
Tuesdays: We currently have a Trumpet and Trombone teacher visiting the band room.
Thursdays: We currently have an Alto Saxophone teacher visiting the band room. (Benjamin Lively offers his first lesson for free!!!)
I have also had a number of students meet the instructors at UWG later in the day because that is what works best for the teacher and the parents schedule.
It is very exciting to see my students take their music education to the next level, I recommend it for all my band students.
