About Wylie ISD Music Enrichment
(Private Lesson) Program

Supplemental Music Lessons
Supplemental music lessons are offered as enrichment to classroom instruction and are designed to utilize the broad scope of characteristic literature available for every instrument or voice.  Rather than stress the singular goal of competition preparation, the emphasis instead is on nurturing the independent thinking and individual performance skills critical to the development of the maturing musician.  The focus is on acquiring refined levels of sight-reading and technical proficiency in tandem with the attainment of an advanced sense of musical instinct and interpretation.

Participation
Although optional, participation in the supplemental lesson program is encouraged and available to all students.  Those who elect not to participate in supplemental lessons will not be penalized in grading, chair placement, or band/choir assignment.

Enrollment

• Enrollment in the supplemental music lesson program is on a voluntary basis.
• Termination of lessons by the student, supplemental music teacher, or band/choir director will be accomplished by written notice to the student or teacher and the band/choir director.
• Supplemental music teachers are assigned as requested by the student, if possible.  In some cases, individual schedules will not allow the requested teacher.
• Questions concerning assignment of supplemental music teachers should be directed to your student’s band/choir director.
• Questions concerning lesson dates and times, or number of lessons taught, should be directed to your student’s supplemental music teacher.

 
Student’s Responsibility to the Private Teacher

​Private Teacher’s Responsibility to the Student

• Cultivate the desire within each student to make music a lifelong activity.
• Exhibit professional characteristics and demeanor in attitude, appearance, behavior and responsibility in every activity germane to private lesson instruction.

Lesson Location and Scheduling

• The band/choir director of each school, in cooperation with the private instructor, will schedule lessons for the students who desire to participate.

• The cost of each lesson for the 2024-2-25 school year is $25.00.

• No lessons will be scheduled during non-music classes.
• It will be the responsibility of the student to notify his/her supplemental music instructor at least twenty-four hours in advance if a lesson is to be canceled unless a serious emergency arises.  This courtesy is also the responsibility of the supplemental music instructor if he/she must cancel a lesson.
• The band/choir director will aid the student in advising the supplemental music teacher of concerts, programs, holidays, etc., which would result in any interruption of the regular lesson schedule.

Financial Considerations
Payment will be made directly from the student to the private lesson teacher at the beginning of every month so as to pay one month in advance.  Checks should be made payable to the individual private lesson teacher.

Financial Assistance
Limited financial aid for supplemental music lessons may be available to qualified students.  The aid is awarded according to need.  Applications may be obtained from the student’s band/choir director. Click on the button below to access the Wylie Choir Vocal Scholarship Application.
