Brass Players Getting Braces?
.
.
Check with your Doctor.  This new method for braces might be a better alternative for your brass playing.  
Traditional braces often cause performance problems for high brass players.  Check this website to see if
this option could work for you.

Benefits of Private Lessons
It can be seen in everything that we do as a band from marching competitions to district band auditions:  Bands excel
when their students are in weekly private lessons with quality teachers.  
For us to take the West band program to
the next level and continue to accomplish the goals set forth in our 10-year strategic plan, we need our band students
in weekly lessons with our recommended teachers.  For an extensive list of the benefits of one-on-one instruction and
a complete listing of Mr. Kirk's recommended teachers visit
