Dear Beaver Families,

I hope you are all enjoying your summer break! The 2022-2023 school year will be here before you know it and registration for private music lessons is now open for Beaver students. Private music lessons are optional and provide an opportunity for all students, from beginners to our most experienced musicians, to further their skills in a one-on-one environment for an additional fee. Students who receive financial aid and wish to take private lessons will automatically have the same aid percentage applied to their lesson tuition.

Beaver offers private music lessons on a wide variety of instruments. Our teachers are all professional musicians in the Boston area with many years of experience. For more information on Beaver’s private lesson program, please see the private music lesson FAQ.

Although enrollment is rolling throughout the year, lesson slots are limited and preference is given to earlier registrations. We encourage families to submit their registration by Friday, September 9 for the best chance of securing a spot. After September 9, the lesson teacher will reach out to you directly to schedule lesson times. Please see the FAQs for information on scheduling parameters for Middle and Upper School students.

A note for New Middle School families: New Middle School students will be receiving their assignments for our curricular music program in early September. If these students are interested in lessons, we recommend waiting to register for lessons until their instrument and ensemble have been confirmed. If your student already takes lessons on a particular instrument and intends on continuing lessons regardless of their placement in the Middle School Music Program (for example piano), we recommend registering now.

Any questions can be directed to Debbie Apple, Middle School Music Faculty and Private Lessons Coordinator, at privatelessons@bcdschool.org.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
