The Milton Public Schools own several instruments, which are loaned out on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is no rental fee for these instruments, though parents are responsible for any repairs that may need to be performed.
There are only a limited number of available slots for lessons, so it is very important to attend this registration night. If you cannot attend, call Dr. Noreen Diamond Burdett at 617-696-4470 x5518 on Friday, September 9 to find out if there are any spots left. You will also need to call Rayburn Music at 888-729-2876 (or another music company of your choice) to rent an instrument.

Lessons are offered for flute, clarinet, oboe, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, French horn, drums, violin, viola, cello and bass. ALP does not offer lessons in recorder or piano. No students in grades lower than fourth will be registered on September 8, but if there are slots available after September 9, these will open to younger students.
The 30-minutes lessons are given once a week at Milton High School and are scheduled Monday through Thursday from 3:30 to 9 p.m. and Fridays from 2:30 to 7 p.m. Lessons are taught by professional musicians, who are specialists on these instruments.
This registration night is for beginners only. Continuing students should contact their lesson teachers directly to register.
