Private Band Lessons
The SLP Music Department, Boosters, and SLP Community Education works together to provide private lessons for students after school. Lessons cost $30 each with financial aid available so that no student misses the opportunity to receive lessons no matter what economic situation your family is in. Additionally, you can donate to the scholarship fund when you register your student for lessons so that we can continue offering financial aid.
Lessons are provided in "packs" of 9 lessons each trimester. When registering for lessons, you select a weekly date to schedule your lesson and purchase all 9 lessons at once. If you need to change dates, you can easily do so by contacting the lesson teacher directly after registering.
To access financial aid options, you first need to register for the lesson dates you want and then you will see different payment options.
Lessons coming soon.
Tours
Students have the opportunity to participate in annual music performance tours to various locations in the United States and overseas. Fundraising opportunities are available to help students attend. Past tours have included Duluth, Chicago, Costa Rica, Cuba, and New Orleans. Tour dates and locations vary by year and are subject to change or cancellation.
Information for the local tour in 2025 will be coming soon.
Band Boosters
The Band Boosters consist of interested parents, grandparents and community members looking to support the band program at Spring Lake Park High School.
