Living in the greater Houston area offers Ulrich the unique opportunity to work with professional musicians who are willing to commit their time and talent to our students. These sessions give students the opportunity to fine tune their skills with an instrumental specialist and progress to the highest of their ability with personalized instruction. As a result, the Ulrich band program will continue its rich tradition of producing outstanding individual musicians.

Payment schedules and policies will be established by each private lesson instructor and communicated to the students they teach.
Payments are to be made on the due date set by the private lesson instructors.

Excused absences (illness, emergency, etc.) will be made up or credit given to future lessons.
Unexcused absences will not be made up nor refunds made.
To avoid any complications, please give the private teacher a 24 hour notice if the student is unable to make a scheduled lesson time.
Scheduling of Lessons
Lessons will be scheduled by the band directors and lesson teachers based on student/teacher availability.
Most lessons will be once a week during school for the duration of 30 min (Monday-Friday) during their band classes or before school (7:00 am - 8:30 am).
Sign-ups can be done at any time throughout the year. Lessons will typically be scheduled a week after the form is turned in (pending an available instructor).
These lessons are scheduled on a first-come first-serve basis. After signing up, you will receive more information on scheduling through your band directors and private teacher. In order to participate, the students are expected to apply themselves, maintain good attendance, and be prepared for each lesson.
