PRIVATE LESSONS
All percussionists are expected to be actively participating in private lessons. Private lessons may take place before school, during class, or after school. We are very fortunate to have an experienced lessons staff in the WHS Cluster. Lessons are given once-a-week for roughly thirty minutes at a time. Rates for lessons at Wakeland High School are only $21 per lesson. The private lessons staff schedules fill up fast, so you will want to sign up early.
