Private lessons offer students a one-on-one opportunity to study with a professional on their instrument.  Lessons can offer remedial help if needed, but more importantly offer a chance to advance more rapidly through attention to individual technique and exposure to more material as a faster pace than full band class.  Our lesson teachers are highly qualified musicians who have been back ground checked and approved by BISD Fine Arts.  They will meet with your child once a week at North Ridge during their band class or before/after school. Lessons are $18 per week payable directly to the teacher. Financial aid is available to students by contacting Ms. Shadman.
