Band Grades and Lessons
Band Lesson Academy - Starts Next week!
In the past, many students and families have found value in taking private lessons with amazing professionals on their instrument. Good news - those teachers come right to Cardinal Heights after school on Tuesdays 3:00-900 PM!
- Band Booster Lesson Academy information and registration can be found here.
- There are still availble times to sign up with a teacher.
- Registered students should already be in contact with their teacher for a lesson time.
