Middle School Orchestra

Welcome to the White Bear Middle School Orchestra Page!

When will orchestra meet?

Every other day, make sure to know if you have orchestra on day 1 or day 2.

What do I need?

Instrument (if you need one, just contact Mr. Weinhold!)

Essential Elements - Book 1 (Grade 6 only). Buy here: violin | viola | cello | bass

Shoulder rest (Violin and violas).

What about lessons?

The cornerstone of the WBL MS Orchestra program is its small group lessons. Students will either be pulled for a small group lesson out of their orchestra class, or one of their other classes, every 6(ish) school days. If they are leaving a different class for their orchestra lesson, they will be on a rotating schedule so they are not leaving the same class every time - your student will be receiving a lesson schedule to help with this.

Who is my teacher?

The Central MS Orchestra Program is under the direction of Ms. Plachy, with assistance by Mrs. Chase and Mrs. Kuehn.

The Sunrise Park MS Orchestra Program is under the direction of Mr. Weinhold, Mrs. Gere, and Ms. Althof.

All teachers are thrilled to get to work with so many hard-working WBL orchestra students!!
