In addition to individual band classes, we also have a wonderful staff of private music instructors. Each teacher is an expert on his or her individual instruments and was selected to teach in our school district by the Fine Arts Director and the band directors in our school district.

The music lessons last half a class period, once a week at a cost of $22.00 per lesson. Times are worked out between you and the private instructor, and usually lessons occur at Field Middle School. Private lessons are not required, and they will not affect your student’s grade; however, students that take this opportunity tend to progress at a much faster rate. They also usually find themselves at a higher level much faster than is normally expected. If you are interested, please request a form. Students of like instruments may take a 23 minute lesson as “buddies” with the same teacher and each student pays $12. Buddy Lessons are left to the discretion of the private teacher and director.

Scholarship opportunities are available for students in need of financial assistance. Students must meet specific criteria and fill out a private lesson scholarship request form. Forms can be obtained from a director. The goal of the Field Band staff is that any student with the drive to be in private lessons should have the opportunity to do so.
