This school year, we introduced the Virtual Private Music Lesson Program to support our band, choir, and modern band students at select campuses across the district.  Students at these campuses have the opportunity to participate in private lessons or masterclasses.

• Increase the achievement level of all participants.
• Aid the student in attaining the musical goals set forth in the Texas Education Agency’s Essential Knowledge and Skills.
