Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser - North Hills HS
Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser and Dr. John Villella will be back in Pittsburgh again this summer.
So many of us have had the same experience:
we meet Dr. Tim for the first time and our lives are changed.
For me it was senior year of high school. We all got on a bus and headed to Trinity High School because my band director told us that there was someone we needed to meet, and my life was changed.
Come and let your students have the same experience on July 27th, as part of getting ready for the upcoming season and school year.
Bring anyone and everyone that would benefit. This is not just for band, or students with titles. We are taking all our rising juniors and seniors this year and have choir and orchestra students as well. If you attend with your students, you can continue the conversation at home.
For nearly a decade we have had 100's of student musicians jumpstart their year together through this time together with Dr. Tim. You don't want to miss out on this!
