Topanga Elementary School Instrumental Music Program

The Topanga Elementary School Instrumental Music Program is open to all students in grades one through six.

This award winnng program is directed by Larry Newman. Music teaching specialists are Mandy Fey (woodwinds & brass), Charlene Welch (strings), & Dan Ubick (guitar).

Small group classes are offered each Monday (guitar, woodwinds & brass) and Wednesday (strings) during regular school hours beginning after 11:00 AM.

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.

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.

First graders may only choose the recorder and you must be in at least third grade to choose the alto saxophone.

Classes begin on 10/06. Classes run through the school year, culminating with a school orchestra concert in June 2009.
A one-time music donation of $395 is requested to help 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. Recorders are provided free with enrollment.

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.

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.
