When do I have lessons?

Lessons are held weekly for 30 minutes during school.  You will miss 30
minutes of one related arts class each week on a rotating basis.  For example:
 if you miss your Period 2 related arts class on Monday, the following Monday
you will miss your Period 8 related arts class.  After school private lessons
are also available, provided by volunteers from Lehigh University.

How do my parents get information about instrumental music?

Mrs. Gross posts information in the Broughal Bulletin, the monthly school
newletter.  Your parents may also attend the BMS Instrumental Music Parents
meeting held once a month on the third Thursday of every month during the
school year at 6:30 PM in the library. Mrs. Gross is always available to speak
with both parents and students during the meeting.  She values parental input
and encourages 
all parents to get involved with their children's education!
