Private Lessons

All Wertheimer & Briscoe Band students are highly encouraged to enroll in private lessons. Private lessons offer your child a unique experience that he or she cannot receive in a regular classroom setting. If you choose to participate in the program, your student will meet with a private instrumental specialist once a week at an arranged time. Lesson times range from twenty minutes to 30 mins. During this time, your student will have 100% of the instructor’s attention. These lessons will be geared toward helping your student become an outstanding musician by teaching them how to improve their musical skills. While we as a band staff strive to work with each student regularly, we are limited because of class size and time. We have some of the world's BEST instrument specialists on faculty and know that private lessons greatly contribute to our student's musical success.

Private Lessons can occur before school, during your student's band class period, and after school depending on both your schedule and your student's private lesson instructor's availability.

Private Lessons are an additional fee (ranging $25-30) depending on the instructor's education and experience. If finances are a concern and you'd like to apply for financial aid, you can notate that on the LESSON ENROLLMENT FORM.

Please contact Mr. Gegogeine or Mr. Sonnier if you have any questions regarding private lessons at esonnier@lcisd.org or coming soon.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

We understand that there may be a need for financial assistance for your student to participate in the private lesson program. Financial assistance is reserved for the families/students with extenuating circumstances (personal/financial) that participating in private lessons would cause undue hardship. This program does not provide free lessons, but shares the cost with the family. Financial assistance is not guaranteed. Lessons will not begin until your application has been reviewed by Band Staff, an offer has been made, and your acceptance has been given. 

Please indicate on the LESSON ENROLLMENT FORM whether or not you will be seeking financial assistance for private lessons.
