Instrumental Music:
The purpose of this program is to broaden the education of the child by giving him an experience in and an understanding of music. Classes are organized offering instruction on band instruments to all interested students in 4th through 8th grade and guitar instruction for students in grades 7 and 8. Classes meet once a week from October through May except on school holidays (minimum of 28 sessions). Lessons are given at school during the day; a rotating schedule is used so that children do not miss the same class. Several concerts are performed by the band during the year. Instruction is offered on flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, snare drum, and guitar (7th and 8th grade only). There is a non-refundable registration fee and an annual tuition rate with a family discount for more than one child.
