WHY ARE WE DOING A PRIVATE LESSON ENROLLMENT FORM?
Simply put, this helps us stay organized to better track lesson enrollment data! When we have a complete look at who is enrolled in private lessons, it gives us the opportunity to better take care of our students. This helps us make sure that students who wish to take lessons are given the chance to take lessons, helps us hire more teachers if a particular instrument group has especially high enrollment, and helps us make sure that students enrolled in lessons are receiving the best possible private lesson education. The information shared in this sheet will only be used by the band staff and your child's private lesson teacher and will not be shared anywhere else.
