Lesson Policy (Updated December 2021)

                The Ipswich Public Schools offer a valuable opportunity for instrumental study for students in grades 4-12 through the Private Music Lessons Extension Program.  We have contacted an outstanding staff of professional musician-teachers who will be available at the following fees:
     
                1. One half-hour private lesson $30
                           
                The Private Lesson concept is designed to offer motivated and interested student musicians an opportunity to study their instrument with a professional specialist on a one to one basis.  This will not replace existing class lessons and sectionals, where our staff presents band/orchestra/chorus basic instruction, but it will offer advanced training in technique, solo literature, and musicianship to students who choose to participate.  Parents will receive a progress report in January and June to let you know what materials your child has studied and how he or she has progressed throughout the year.  This type of program will also help parents avoid transportation to other towns for private lessons.  Lessons are provided for flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe/bassoon, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, percussion/drum set, violin, viola, cello, double bass, bass guitar, piano and voice.
     
                If you are interested in this exciting program, please fill out the registration form and return it to Mr. Dolan at the High School.  You will be contacted by the teacher to establish a lesson time.  All lessons will be given Monday through Saturday after school in the High School Performing Arts Center.  If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at the High School at 978-356-3137 ext.2183 or email at gdolan@ipsk12.net.
