Lessons with Mr. Millette:
Mr. Millette will be providing online lessons during the school year via In-Person, Skype, Facetime, or Zoom (depending on scheduling and flexibility). If you are interested in participating, the rates are the exact same as regular private lessons during the school year ($18 per half hour). He will have materials for you to work through, and with gearing up for next season, Mr. Millette will also be offering private online instruction with resources geared towards this goal. So, if you are interested, reach out to him: paul.c.millette@gmail.com |

Looking into next year...
It's absolutely crazy, but we are already making plans for next year's ensemble. As a preliminary update, please keep these dates and times open. The summer percussion camps are mandatory for anyone who is audition for me next year. Lack of attendance at these camps will most likely mean you not getting the audition placement you desire - I am looking for who is dedicated and committed to this ensemble as well as who can develop their skill level throughout the camps. Please let me know ahead of time if there are any conflicts that might arise. For future reference - always keep the last week of June and last week of July open for percussion camps!
