Summer Band Lessons Grades 6 - 12 The Summer Private Music Lesson Program is designed to provide an opportunity to significantly improve instrument skills. Lessons during the summer are a priceless resource for a young, developing musician. During school, a lesson is only 15 minutes in length and usually alongside several peers, whereas summer lessons are taught individually for 30 minutes. Summer private lesson program members will show a higher rate of progress on their instrument because of the individualized instruction. Watertown-Mayer band director Miles Otstot is offering lessons this summer to interested students. Lessons are open to all instrumentalists entering grades 6-12. 30 Minute Sessions (families will be contacted to confirm lesson times) Dates of Lessons: June - 10, 17, 24 July - 29 August 5, 12
