District 196 Community Education

The Apple Valley High School Instrumental Music Program is pleased to provide summer lessons to students attending AVHS for the 2024-25 school year. These summer lessons are an extension of the Independent School District 196 Community Education Department.

Individual lessons are a great way to further growth and development as an individual musician. Instruction is catered to the specific needs and desires of the individual student. Materials from school lessons are typically used for these summer lessons but may be supplemented by the instructor. These lessons are an ideal way for incoming 9th grade students to get to know the AVHS band directors prior to the start of school and a great way for 10th-12th grade students to continue advancing their skills.

All lessons will be held in-person at Apple Valley High School.

One make-up lesson at an alternate time can be arranged with the instructor if a conflict (family vacations, etc.) occurs with scheduling of the lessons. Financial discounts are available if your family is currently enrolled in the educational benefits program.

Registration closes on Thursday, 5/30.
