PRIVATE LESSONS
Please consider Private Lessons for your child: Private lessons are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED for all students of the Bay Middle School Instrumental Music Program. The benefits of enrolling in private lessons are priceless because the student spends one-on-one time with a specialist on his/her instrument.
