MUSIC

Dear Families,

Welcome to another harmonious year! I look forward to working with all of your students this year and helping them become mini musicians…

There is a lot going on throughout this year and I wanted to give you some dates to be aware of because I know how busy we all get. I will send letters home throughout the year with more details on expectations and the happenings for each activity.

Choir: I will be starting Choir rehearsals the first week of September (September 4th). Rehearsals will be in the morning on Tuesdays from 8:00am-8:50am. I will take 50 students, 3^rd – 6^th grade, who are interested. Not to worry....no prior knowledge or background about singing is required. :) If you're curious come check it out!

Recorder: 3^rd and 4^th grade will be playing recorder this year. I make one large purchase to help save on shipping. There is a scholarship fund for those who may not be able to purchase one and if you’ve already purchased one you do not need to again. We will be ordering recorders earlier this year. I'd like to begin playing them 2nd quarter so we can learn some holiday music.

Ukulele: 5^th-6^th grade will be learning ukulele as well. I have a class set that they may use. I’ve had families in the past ask about purchasing one. You can but; YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO! Your student will get the chance to play in class. If you are interested in the ones I use, they are Mahalo Soprano Ukuleles from Amazon and are relatively cheap. ($30-$60) Ukuleles can get far more expensive it just depends on what you’re looking for.

Thank you for your support!
