Pacific Palisades Elementary School Instrumental Music Program

The Palisades Elementary School Instrumental Music Program is open to students in grades 1 through 5.

Weekly classes are offered for 30 to 40 minutes each Friday after school.

This award winning program is directed by Larry Newman. Mandy Fey and Charlene Welch are the music specialists.

First graders may choose violin or recorder. Second graders may choose violin, recorder, flute, clarinet or trumpet.

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

This is a year long program. Classes begin Friday, October 3 culminating with a school orchestra concert in May 2009.

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 through STAR. The final schedule of classes will be emailed to all applicants.

A music fee of $495 is requested from each participant for the 2008-2009 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.
