Third, fourth and fifth graders may choose violin, cello, flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, baritone horn or trombone.

This is a year long program. Classes begin Friday, September 28 culminating with a school orchestra concert in May 2013.

Thirty to forty minute small group lessons will be held each Friday after school between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Please keep that time block free on Fridays. This flexibility in scheduling will allow us to create classes best suited for the enrollment.

The exact lesson schedule will be determined when enrollment is complete. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. To aid in your planning, note that beginning classes will be held earlier than intermediate and advanced level classes.

After school supervision for students waiting to take their lesson is available. The final schedule of classes will be emailed to all applicants.

A music fee of $495 is requested from each participant for the 2012-2013 school year. This fee includes all music books and basic supplies. The only other expense will be the lease, rental or purchase of the instrument. Recorders are provided free.

Order your instrument now and get free delivery to school for the first lesson on September 28.
