🎵 LOOKING TO PURCHASE A GIFT? SUPPLY? INSTRUMENT?

• We have a gift idea list on the right. It links to Amazon lists based on each instrument. The #1 gift that helps a student with music is a music stand. Any version would be very helpful. Musicians need to be able to see their music well. 

• There are many online stores or local music stores who have fun t-shirts, earrings, hats, decorations, pop/movie music books, etc. which highlight the fun of what we do. Great for holiday gifts!

• If you are looking to purchase an instrument, please see your teacher for help. Local music stores are also a good resource. Be careful with online or non-music store purchases as many of the "deals" are "too good to be true" and your teacher can help guide you. Poorly made instruments are often not playable and hinder success. We want to set you up for success!

🎵 Got a Metronome and a Tuner?

We use these on a regular basis in all music classes. TempoLite for metronome (free app) and for a tuner, our favorites are bandmatetuner.com (website and iPhone app for all instruments, even orchestra) and tuner.ninja/old (website) both work great for our class.

🎵 PARENT/GUARDIAN CANVAS SIGN-UP

Parents and guardians, please sign-up to be a Canvas Observer. This allows me to send important emails to families regarding field trips, concerts, and other reminders. This also allows you to email your teachers and see your child's grades and assignments. Once you sign-up as an observer for one class, you will be part of your child's account for all classes through high school. Click here for a link ion how to sign up. Our school (Newhart) is listed in the district's Canvas account which is "capousd.instructure.com" We do not have a "school" account, only district. Good news is that once you sign-up, you will be signed up from now through 12th grade and for all classes.
