This week started another playing test week for the bands at the middle school. Since this is the second time through this testing procedure it is going a little smoother (of course having a five day week will help).
Several students have come up and asked me to work with them to prepare for the test. Of course I am delighted to work with students one on one. When I have sixty students in front of me it is difficult to diagnose difficulties and give every kid the instruction they need. This is why private lessons are so valuable. If you've never considered private lessons they are a great way for your child to get the most out of band. Each of the four music teachers at Struthers occasionally give lessons after school and there are also several music stores around that offer private lessons. The closest are probably Music Lessons for Us All in Poland, and the Drum Smith here in Struthes. We also have students taking lessons at Motters Music in Canfield, the Music Gallery, in Canfield, and Hubbard Music in Hubbard.
Prices vary but usually range from $10-15 per half hour. Also, many stores will run specials on lessons such as offering the first lesson free or giving discounts if you pay for the whole month at once.
I hope the testing goes well and if your child would like some extra help let me know and I will be happy to work with them before or after school.
Stay warm!
