Lessons

Lessons are offered in-person during the school day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The weekly schedule will be posted in homerooms and sent out in the weekly band update email.

New instrumentalists are required to take a few months of beginner lessons before joining Concert Band.

Instruments

New musicians have the option to take lessons on any of the instruments listed here.

Any previous band members may continue to take lessons on other instruments if they were already doing so.

If an instrument you would like to receive lessons on is not on this list, contact Mr. DeCarlo with any questions.

Flute
Clarinet
Alto saxophone
Trumpet
Trombone
Percussion (drums)
Mallets (bells)

Lesson Books

We'll be working through the Essential Elements series of books.

When starting on a new instrument, make sure to start with Book 1 for your instrument of choice. Both pitched and non-pitched percussion are found in the Percussion book.

Essential Elements books can be purchased at most music stores (although, notably, not DeLuca), or on Amazon!

One payment of $525, due Oct. 6th.
