PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS

The Supplemental Music Lesson Program in the Richardson Independent School District is a wonderful opportunity available for your child.  Supplemental music lessons are a chance for students to receive one-on-one instruction with some of the finest professional teachers and players in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.  With the large number of students in the West band program, we simply do not have enough time to spend with each individual student every day.  Private Music Lessons offer the student a chance to go beyond the parameters of the classroom setting.  Lessons are $20.00 each and there are usually four lessons per month (one/week.) 

*If you need assistance on the cost of private lessons, please let us know so we can give you an application for a scholarship.  We try to help out as many students as we can each year.*
  
7th & 8th Graders:  Lessons during the school day will be taught at West JH.  These lessons may be scheduled during the student's band class or before or after school, and they will last for approximately 25 minutes.  No lessons will be scheduled during non-music classes.

6th Graders:  Lessons will not be held on your elementary campus.  You and your lesson teacher will schedule a time outside of the school day to attend your lesson.  These lessons may be held at West JH or Richardson HS.  
If you are interested in taking private lessons or think you might need a scholarship, please fill out the Private Lesson Form and submit it to your band director.  We will get you in contact with our wonderful private lesson staff listed below.
