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>. Once you sign up for lessons, the individual private instructor will make contact to set up an exact time. </div><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class="">The policy for payment for private lessons is as follows:<br class=""><br class="">1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The private teacher will present a bill.<br class=""> Payment is made directly to the teacher.<br class=""><br class="">2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Lessons are at the rate of $71.00 per hour lesson.<br class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Payment is to be made by semester and due on or before the second lesson.<br class=""> <br class="">1st semester:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Week of Sept. 19<br class=""> 2nd semester: Week of January 17<br class=""><br class="">(30 minute lesson)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> (45 minute lesson) (60 minute lesson)<br class="">$532.50 (first 15 lessons)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>$798.75 (first 15 lessons) $1065.00 (first 15 lessons)<br class=""><br class="">NOTE:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Credit will be given in the following bill for lessons missed because of vacations, teacher workshops, or if the teacher cannot be here.<br class=""><br class="">3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>No refund can be made for lessons missed on account of illness (except in the case of long term illness) or “no school” days caused by storms.
