The Kenter Canyon Charter
Elementary School Instrumental Music Program is
open to all students in grades one through five.
The program is
coordinated by Larry Newman. Mandy Fey and Debbie Klak are music
teaching specialists.
Weekly classes are offered for 30 to 45 minutes
each Friday during the regular school day.
Instruction is available
on recorder, flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone,
violin and cello.
First graders may only choose the recorder or violin
and you must be in at least third grade to choose the sax or trombone.
(What is a recorder?)
No
musical experience is required to enroll in a beginning class.
Students
with some prior experience will be placed in an intermediate or advanced
level ensemble depending on ability.
To best accommodate all the students, the final
schedule will be determined when enrollment is complete. Students
will be notified of their lesson time by their classroom teacher
and by e-mail.
Instruction begins on Friday, October 2, 2009 and runs through
the school year, culminating with an evening in May 2010.
A one-time music donation of $375 is requested to cover the instructional
costs of this year’s instrumental music program. This fee
includes all music, books and basic supplies which your child
is given. The only other expense will be the lease, rental or
purchase of the instrument.
A limited number of scholarships are available to those who request
them and every attempt will be made to see that all students
who wish to participate are given the opportunity regardless
of financial considerations.
Through special arrangements with a local music retailer, instruments
are available for purchase, rent or lease-to-own at up to 45%
off the retail price for participating music students.
