Summer Private and Group Instrument Lessons with Barry Ward

In order to keep their “chops” during the summer, (by the way, “chops”, is a musician’s lingo for  continuing to play and stay in shape), I am offering zoom lessons in the months of June and July. Group  lessons or private lessons can be organized if there is interest. Sorry, there can be no program offered  at school over the summer. This program is patterned after last year’s success during the summer. The  idea is to hopefully keep things going over the summer. The cost of these lessons will be kept as low as  possible for our students. Please email Mr. Ward with your interest in instrument summer lessons, for  more information contact: [email protected]  

If interested, the following program is being offered for the months of June and July. Make up lessons  for vacations and so forth can be made up in the first week of August. Online zoom lesson types have  proven to be a great help in maintaining performance levels, as well as improved playing. Private  lessons will always be the best vehicle for improvement, however group lessons can add great value.  Additionally, beginning students (no experience) are welcome to start an instrument. All band  instruments are being offered these lessons. There may be some middle school programs being offered  around the area with local public schools. Mr. Ward’s summer lesson program includes: 

Private lessons: $75.00 per month - 1/2 hour private lesson - Tuesdays and Wednesdays 

>Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced private lesson - any instrument 

Group lessons: $60.00 per month - Tuesdays and Wednesdays> 1/2 hour lesson per week . 

>Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Group lessons- any instrument.   >Groups will be those who show interest, grouped by age, experience, and instrument.

Tuesdays dates - Planned schedule for all lessons at this time are: - June 7,14,21,28 and/or July  5,12,19,26 

Wednesday dates - Planned schedule for all lessons at this time are: June 8,15,22,29 and/or July  6.13,20,27  

Please contact Mr. Ward [email protected] with your interest. Decisions are being made in May  whether there is enough interest in this program. This program is being offered through Mr. Ward to his  schools only and students. Thank you for your interest and support for your child’s musical interests.
