The Overland Elementary School
Instrumental Music Program is open to all students
in grades one through five.
The program is directed by Larry Newman and classes are taught by the outstanding faculty of Children’s
Music Workshop.
Instruction is available on recorder, flute, clarinet, alto sax,
trumpet, baritone horn, trombone, violin and cello.
First graders may only choose the violin or recorder. (What
is a recorder?) Second graders
may choose any instrument except alto sax, trombone or baritone
horn.
Third, fourth and fifth graders may choose any instrument except
for the 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.
A program orientation assembly will be presented on Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:45 and 11:15 AM in the school auditorium. Students will
be introduced to the instruments of the orchestra through live
demonstrations.
Music classes run from October 2, 2012 through
our concert on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 6:30 PM.
Thirty to forty minute classes are offered each Tuesday after school
(early dismissal day) beginning on October 2, 2012.

is complete. Please keep that time block open when registering for the program.
