Music Lessons   

Music Extension offers after school lessons, to help your children further their ability and knowledge of their chosen instrument: violin, viola, cello, flute, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, and percussion. These lessons are for students in grades 5-8 at the Public Schools of Brookline.

A registration survey was emailed to students and their families by Kenny Kozol. You must complete this survey if you intend to enroll your child in music lessons. Upon completing the survey, a staff member will then reach out to you with a lesson day and time to confirm. Once you confirm, you then will receive a link to register your child and pay the tuition for the lessons.
