Unfortunately many band programs do not bother with individual or group
lessons. When I lived in Ohio, the band program in my town for the first year
(5th grade) consisted of group lessons once per week and playing in the band
the rest of the time. After 5th grade there was only playing in the band. If
you wanted more, you went to a private teacher. I also lived in a town in
Illinois for a couple of years and the band program was handled the same way.
