Private Lessons

The Private Lesson Concept is designed to offer motivated and interested student musicians an opportunity to study their instrument with a professional specialist on a one to one basis.
Cost of private lessons may vary, but is approximately $20 per half hour. Participation is highly recommended.

If you are interested in having your child participate in this exciting program, please visit the Foxboro Music Department website, fill out the form, and your information will be emailed directly to our music department. All lessons will be given Monday thru Friday after school in the high school music wing. The private lesson program has been approved by the Foxboro School Committee, and is administered by Stephen C. Massey, Director of Music.

The Foxboro Music Association provides discretionary funds to Mr. Massey each year to pay for a portion of private lesson fees for students who display financial need. All requests will be kept confidential. Please see Mr. Massey for details.
