Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the Bainbridge American Legion, the Paint Valley Band Boosters are able to offer a private lesson program to enhance students’ musicality through one on one individual tutoring. Every student enrolled in band is encouraged to participate. These sessions give students the opportunity to fine tune their skills with an instrumental specialist. As a result, the Paint Valley Band Program will continue its rich tradition of producing outstanding individual musicians.
These lessons traditionally cost $10-20 a half hour. Thanks to the Bainbridge American Legion, these lessons will be 100% covered by the Paint Valley Band Boosters in fulfillment of their mission: to make band accessible to any student regardless of their financial status.
Lessons Will Help Students
• Develop extended techniques, tone, pitch, and musicianship
• Better prepare to make the Ohio All-State, District 16, and Regional Honor Bands
• Play with more confidence at OMEA Solo and Ensemble Contest
• Prepare for college scholarship auditions
• Build individual confidence and self-esteem
• Perform more successfully at all Paint Valley Band Concerts
Scheduling of Lessons
• Sign up for a lesson timeslot in the Band Room
• To respect the private teacher’s time, lessons will be scheduled back to back
• Cancellations must be communicated 24 hours in advance
• Lessons will be after school once a week for the duration of 30 min (Monday-Friday)
• You may contact the lesson teacher to arrange a more convenient time
• If you “no-call no-show” for your lesson, you may be removed from the lesson program
It is our sincerest hope that each student considers participating in this program. As any student who has had private lessons can attest, outside of band class, private lessons are the fastest way to improve on your instrument and in music. We are incredibly fortunate to be funded by the American Legion. Let us maximize this benefit, together!
