Hebron Orchestra 2020-2021 Orchestra Updates

Dear Hawks,       We are so excited to welcome back many of our students to campus next Tuesday. I know we’re all doing our best with remote learning… it’s a totally different experience to bring music to life together every day.  If you haven’t already, please take a moment to review the Hebron and LISD guidelines for our return to campus.  In addition to campus guidelines we will also have LISD Fine Arts guidelines for the orchestra room. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1boKzZwwVN-CRBWY7rK3ov3AV1VsBc9MA/view

Private Lessons Our private lesson program is going to look a little bit different this year.  Our goal is the same – to provide high quality private instruction to our students. Private lessons are an essential component of musical and instrumental development.  Typically a private teacher will give your student an individual lesson in a private lesson room during class.  Due to district policy, lessons will be conducted online for the foreseeable future.  Lessons allow for individual, focused attention to the needs of the student, allowing for the strongest and most consistent progress as a musician.  Lessons also give your student the greatest chance at higher musical achievement, such as placement in the All-Region Orchestra, and/or high achievement at the Solo & Ensemble Festival. Our lesson teachers are highly qualified and experienced, and are vetted by LISD.  The lesson rate of $22 per half hour is set by LISD. In addition to teaching they may regularly perform as professional musicians throughout the metroplex and beyond.  Their schedules may be extremely limited so lessons will be arranged on a first come/first served basis. Private lessons are highly encouraged for all members of the orchestra.  Our focus with the Hebron Orchestra is individual progress combined with team achievement.   Please click the link to sign up for private lessons this year: https://forms.gle/j3MsgpNAMndFiPHXA

It’s been great to see and meet our students online and I’m looking forward to putting names with faces, or maybe seeing some spring/summer growth spurts. Please let me know if there’s anything I can help with, and we hope to share some new music with you all soon!
