Encouraging Private Lessons to Build Personal Responsibility to Excellence - Mr. Weaver

2/9/2024

0 Comments

 
Students & Parents,

I'd like to personally ask you all to seriously consider taking private lessons.  It doesn't have to be super costly or even overly regular.  As a young student musician, having the opportunity to work one-on-one for a handful of lessons really helped me to get ahead.  This in turn fueled my enjoyment of music-making and school band/orchestra.  It also made possible some remarkable traveling experiences such as the GA Lions All-State Band, various university honor bands, the Southern Baptist Youth Orchestra tour and the Georgia All-State Band.

Private lessons can help your child to earn top placements by providing individualized attention from an expert at that particular instrument. With a better chance of earning top placement, this also gives your student an opportunity to become a leader among their peers.  Read more here: lessonsinyourhome.net/blog/10-reasons-to-take-private-band-orchestra-lessons/#:~:text=Private%20band%20and%20orchestra%20lessons%20can%20also%20help%20your%20student,your%20student's%20specific%20playing%20style.


As we look forward to the future of our program we want to continually grow in musical and personal excellence.  I urge you all to consider lessons as away of meeting your personal responsibility to helping our band achieve its goals. 

Please see some options below!

Go PRIDE GO!
-Mr. Weaver
