Policies & Procedures

Enrollment

Students must be in fourth or fifth grade, and have an interest in learning a band or string instrument. Instrumental Music is a year-long graded course that your child is enrolled in (this is the same as the other year-long courses, Math, Reading, Music, PE, etc.). Please understand that when your child signs up for Instrumental Music, they are registering for one instrument, for the entire school year. This is so that the child can learn the instrument, and how to read the music. Having a student begin an instrument and 3 or 4 months later quit is not helpful to the band/orchestra program. It's the same as joining a team sport, getting a position and practicing with the team, only to leave it right before a big game.
