The program runs in partnership between the Medway Public Schools’ Music Department, Medway Community Education, and the Medway Friends of Performing Arts. Currently, the program offers lessons for the traditional concert band instruments. Lessons are available at a rate of $23.00 per 30-minute lesson, $35.00 per 45-minute lesson, and $46.00 per 60-minute lesson. The private lesson program offers students an opportunity to study their instrument with a professional specialist in a one-onone setting. This does not replace existing class group lessons and band classes, where instruction is presented by school department staff. Instead, the program offers further training in fundamentals, technique, musicianship, and solo repertoire. This type of local program also helps parents avoid transporting students to other towns for private lessons. Does your job require certification in First Aid and CPR? This course meets the requirements of camp counselors, babysitters, and children’s sports organizations. The Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid course, taught under the guidelines of the American Heart Association, is designed for anyone who may need to respond to a first-aid emergency. This course teaches participants how to handle injuries and manage illness in the first few minutes until help arrives. The six modules covered in this course are First Aid Basics, Medical Emergencies, Injury Emergencies, Environmental Emergencies, Adult CPR, and Pediatric CPR. Certification is good for two years. Change is constant and some changes may leave us perplexed, fearful and immobile. Join us to learn simple, effective and proven strategies to aid us as we move through transitions in our lives. Whether transitioning with a new career, moving, divorce, or loss, this three-part class will discuss various tools that help with the process of moving forward, managing the changes, and welcoming a new beginning with the next chapters of your lives.
