Welcome!

We are so glad that you are interested in furthering your music education by participating in our performing ensembles! Everyone can play an instrument, sing, and enjoy a lifetime full of music! 

Intermediate students will choose their music course for the 2026-2027 school year. 3rd-grade students will choose either String Orchestra or General Music. 4th and 5th-grade students will choose between Band, String Orchestra, or General Music. General Music is a continuation of the music curriculum students have learned since starting elementary school. 

*4th and 5th-grade students who wish to participate in Chorus will meet once a week as a pull-out class. Chorus is an additional offering that students will sign up for in August.

Parents/guardians are expected to provide an instrument for their child. In the event a parent/guardian cannot provide an instrument, SMCPS instruments will be distributed in the most appropriate manner possible, taking into account the school, program size, and student need. A Google Form to assess instrument needs will be sent home at the start of the school year. If you have any questions before then, please email Mrs. Holm. 

In addition to an instrument, students are required to have instrument-specific materials that parents/guardians provide. These can be found on the instrument pages on this website. Please take time with your child to look through this site to help you choose a music course and an instrument if you select band or strings. 

Important Dates: 

• May 4, 2026 - Music Course Selection Forms (Google Form OR hardcopy) due to HES.

Let's make this a successful first, second, or third year for our students!
