PRIVATE LESSONS

Private Lesson Program

The Hunt MS Band is committed to providing the best learning experiences for our students. One of the most effective ways to succeed is through our private lesson program. While not required, we strongly encourage every student to participate.

Why Enroll?
  • Personalized Growth: Lessons are tailored to your child’s specific needs, whether they are struggling, average, or advanced.
  • Expert Instruction: Our staff consists of professional, degreed instrumentalists (many with Masters or Doctorates) who have passed FISD background checks.
  • Success: Active involvement in lessons is the single biggest contributor to a student's musical potential and the overall success of our band.

Logistics & Rates
  • Scheduling: Lessons occur for 30 minutes (before/after school) or 21 minutes (during the school day).
  • Cost: The FISD rate is $25 per lesson.
  • Financial Aid: Scholarship money is available for those with financial need.
