Performing Arts Academy

September 2017

Dear Parent(s):

Your student’s maximum potential in the performing arts can only be achieved through individual study. Experienced performers depend upon individual coaching to excel. Even beginners should “get started on the right foot” with a qualified instructor.

A superior program of artistic study is available at Hill-Murray School through the Pioneer Pathways Performing Arts Academy. Lessons are available for all band instruments, string instruments, guitar, voice, piano and organ.

We are pleased to offer a superb faculty of professional performers and teachers at the Academy. Each student will receive seven thirty-minute individual music lessons offered once per week each quarter (the fall quarter of 2017 will offer 4 lessons). Lessons will be scheduled before, during or after school Monday – Friday at Hill-Murray School. Tuition is $220 per quarter ($125 for the fall quarter of 2017).

The academy is an optional enrichment opportunity open to any school-aged student. One does not have to be a Hill-Murray student to enroll.

If you would like to enroll in the Pioneer Pathways Performing Arts Academy, please complete and return the interest form to either the Hill-Murray Aligned Learning Office or the Hill-Murray Band Office. Your lesson teacher will contact you and your student on scheduling lessons that will work best for you and your family.

Thank you for choosing Hill-Murray School and considering this wonderful opportunity for your student.

Sincerely,

Juli Baecker
