Private Lessons

In 2023 we were thrilled to announce the launch of the Private Music Lesson Scholarship Program, an initiative brought to you by the Batavia Music Buffs in collaboration with the Batavia Music Program teachers. Our goal is to inspire and support the musical growth of our students by offering a unique opportunity for private music lessons.

We are excited about the potential impact of this scholarship program on your child's musical journey. Thank you for your ongoing support of the Batavia Music Program.

  • The Private Music Lesson Scholarship is designed to encourage students who have not previously taken private music lessons. This one-time scholarship will cover the cost of the first four lessons on your child's current instrument or voice, withi a contribution of $100 from Music Buffs. Subsequent lessons will continue at the private instructor's regular rate at the parent or guardians expense.

  • To be eligible, students must be enrolled in 5th grade band or orchestra or a 6th-12th grade music ensemble (band, orchestra, chorus) in the Batavia Schools.

  • Parents should first contact a private instructor from the Batavia Music Program approved list to check for availability and schedule the first lesson.

    Once the first lesson is scheduled, apply for the scholarship by completing this Google Form. The application will collect some basic information, including the instructor’s name and the start date of the lessons.

  • Batavia Music Buffs will seek approval from your student’s ensemble director.

    Students will be notified of scholarship approval.

    The Music Buffs will mail the payment directly to the instructor.
