It is expected that students will not miss classes, rather attend during free times such as QUIET STUDY, LUNCH PERIODS, 7:20-7:40 AM, 2:30-2:50 PM, OPEN PERIODS Etc. Students will sign up for these times in advance with the director.

Extra Help

There are many times when a student has trouble playing their instrument. It is “the nature of the beast”. I am available for extra help before school every day at 7:20 AM and after school from 2:30-2:50. (Early/later times are available upon request) Students may sign up for extra help with the director in advance. Students should speak to me at a minimum of the day before to make arrangements for extra help.
