Band and orchestra students are encouraged to seek private instruction to further develop technique, sight-reading ability and repertoire. Once again this year, Weston has a outstanding group of private teachers available to teach band, orchestra & chorus students (students must be enrolled in band, orchestra or chorus to take part in the private lesson program). If you would like your student to take advantage of our private lesson program, please fill out and submit the online <a href="http://bit.ly/wpsmusic" target="_blank" class="">Private Lesson Sign Up Form (click here)</a>.
