It is the goal of Burleson ISD to provide the very best learning experiences for each band student. One of these learning experiences is the opportunity for a student to study privately with a professional instrumentalist. Students who take private lessons are more likely to make the top ensemble, make All-Region/Area/State, earn a 1st division on Solos & Ensembles, and receive college scholarships for playing their instrument in college (even if they aren't music majors). The money spent on private lessons can pay you back and MORE in the future!
Teachers have LIMITED number of slots, so sign-up early and don't miss out!
1. Private teachers are selected by the Centennial Band Directors and are available for all students.
2. Private lessons are optional, but highly encouraged
3. Private Lesson costs: $18-30 per lesson; some teachers w/ Fort Worth Symphony (or equivalent) may have a higher rate.
4. Students are taught at Centennial High School or their home campus once per week during their band period, or before/after school.
5. If a student is absent from school or in school but cannot attend the lesson, prior notification (24 hours) must be given in order for a make-up lesson to be re-scheduled.
6. If the student is in school and misses a lesson without prior notification to the teacher, the student will be financially accountable for that lesson.
7. Billing statements will be sent directly from Private Lesson Teacher. Payments will be made directly to the private lesson teacher (not band directors).
