How do I get my child started with music lessons in Dutchess County?
Encourage an interest in trying music lessons. Emphasize that you think it is a good activity that your child should try now, to get more advanced or even to supplement in-school learning. Private lessons will greatly help your student when NYSSMA festival time rolls around and may even give your student the opportunity to be in advanced ensembles such as Elementary All-County or Jr. High All-County.
