District 196 Community Education

The Valley Middle School of STEM Instrumental Music Department is pleased to offer private band lessons this summer. These lessons are an extension of the Independent School District 196 Community Education Department. We offer four weeks of 20-minute individual lessons (preferably one lesson per week, please indicate your day/time preference during the registration process; please choose no preference when possible). Students may sign up for 2, 3 or 4 lessons.

Individual lessons are a great way to further growth and development as an individual musician. Instruction is catered to the specific needs and desires of the individual student. Materials from school lessons are typically used for these summer lessons, but may be supplemented by the instructor. These lessons are an ideal way for incoming 6^th grade students to meet the VMSS band teachers prior to the start of next school year and a great way for 7^th and 8^th grade students to continue advancing their skills. We are unable to reschedule missed lessons. Lesson schedules will be emailed by June 13th.. *All lessons will take place in person at Valley Middle School of Stem.

Registration for band lessons online through Community Education by using the link or QR Code. Please complete the registration process by June 6, 2025.
