What Are Lessons?

Private Lessons are offered through the band program and are available to every Reynolds band student. Lessons are offered during band class or before/after school and are scheduled individually with the private lesson staff members.

Private lessons are a one-on-one learning environment provided by a degreed, professional musician who is carefully hand-selected by the Reynolds and Prosper Band Directors. Guarateed weekly individual instruction is crucial to the success of the band program and allows students to benefit from uniquely designed curriculum that targets each individual student's specific needs. Every student enrolled in the private lesson program is allowed to progress at his/her own unique pace and style of learning.
