Band Lesson Information

All seventh and eighth grade band members will be scheduled for band lessons once every six school days.  Lessons last approximately 15 minutes.  Lessons help to improve technical skills, allow the teachers to give one-on-one instruction, monitor individual progress, extend motivational challenges, and examine instrument mechanical problems.   

Students will learn their lesson day and time through a Schoology group.  They should check their Schoology calendar carefully so as not to forget or miss a lesson.  Students are responsible for making up work missed in class due to their band lesson.

The Cedar Rapids area is fortunate to have a large number of excellent private music teachers who are specialists on their instrument.  To see a list of recommended private teachers, click here.
