Dear Student Musicians and Families,
Things look a bit different due to the pandemic, but the NMHS Music Department is ready to make music! Mask wearing is mandatory! Stage Band will meet in the mornings at 7:30 a.m. High School Chorus meets during Lab/Intervention. Instrumental lessons will begin end of October/early November for grades 6-12, I have ordered masks for instrumentalists and their instrument (wind and brass). Finally, Middle Level Chorus will meet during their TA (Teacher Advisory).
To help support students, my physical and digital door is always open for those seeking help.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments. Student, teacher, and parent communication is key to universal success!
Let me know how I can support YOU in your music endeavors!
