The Milford School District offers free after school instrumental lessons to students in Grades 4 & 5. These lessons are taught by Ms. Chaplin who has an extensive career in the instrumental music field having previously taught in Shirley, Mass., Nashua, NH, and finally here in Milford since 1996. Students start in September and are grouped according to instrument,1st or 2nd year experience and finally grade level. Lessons are offered in 30 minute blocks starting at 3:15 pm and continue until 7:30 to afford families the opportunity to have a convenient lesson time. There are often lesson groups offered on multiple days for similar instruments. Students are scheduled for one, 30 minute lesson per week. Instruments which are available are flute, clarinet, alto sax, trumpet, trombone, baritone, and percussion (drums & bells). Other instruments, (such as oboe, tenor sax, french horn) are offered on a limited basis to 5th graders who already have experience and would like to challenge themselves. Large group rehearsals which help prepare for the 'end of year' concerts usually start after the April vacation. Students reschedule to afford both lesson and rehearsal times with a variety of times being offered. Concert dates are normally announced during April. An electronic copy of the band handbook will be available as a link sometime in the near future.
