Friends of the Performing Arts (FOPA) in Lloydminster and Lloydminster Public School Division have partnered to offer private music lessons during the school day. The partnership will allow private music instructors registered with FOPA to use LPSD school facilities to teach students before, during and after the school day. Times and space will be made available within the limitations of each school. Instructors, parents and students will work within these parameters to access music lessons. The goal of the program is to enrich offering of music lessons to include piano, voice, guitar, woodwinds, brass, percussion and stringed instruments.

Creative Kids connects children and youth to unique, life-changing artistic and cultural experiences in their community. We provide financial support to Saskatchewan families so all kids have an opportunity to participate in creative activities like theatre, art, dance, heritage, and music.

Lessons start at $25 per half hour, but larger time slots can be arranged for an additional cost.

Lesson times have a little flexibility since I give each student one make-up lesson per semester (semesters are Sept-December and January-May).

A make-up lesson is a lesson where either I or the student couldn't make the original lesson time slot, and I make up the lesson at a later date. Students get one make-up per semester for lessons they miss, I will make up any lesson I personally miss.

Tricky question. Practice as much as you need to feel like you're getting something back out of the instrument. A good rule of thumb is to practice smaller lengths of time more regularly, instead of one big 2 hour session once a week.

Due to the wide and varied nature of what can be accomplished on the advanced side of things, I do not take any advanced students no.
