Dear Future Orchestra Parent,
I’m looking forward to an excellent year of orchestra! Practice at home is just one part of how a student will progress and develop in orchestra. Parents have a profound impact on their children when it comes to how this practice is approached, so I would encourage you to be involved in this aspect of your child’s desire to learn an instrument. Orchestra takes place on Mondays and Wednesdays during specials.
We will perform a few times this year; all but one of our performances takes place in the evening. I will try to get a calendar out as soon as dates and times are solidified. Generally, these concerts include:
Fine Arts Night
String Fling, a very large, fun concert at DHS
More events TBA
During orchestra class I will help your child pick an instrument for them, size them appropriately. I will then send home all the necessary information on instrument rentals home to you. If you have any questions about orchestra, please feel free to email me. I look forward to meeting you and teaching your awesome students!
