| Music provides students with a wealth of benefits. In addition to obtaining the musical skill necessary to become a performer, a child learns skills that can be used in every facet of life. Team work, dedication, self-discipline and responsibility prepare a child for a successful future in any profession he/she may choose. |
| Instruments and Accessories Prior to the beginning of class, each student should have rented or purchased their instrument. The instruments should come with rosin for the bow. Violinists and violists must purchase a shoulder rest from a music store such as Brook Mays, Williamson Music, or Fiddles and Bows. The Kun shoulder rest is preferred though other brands may also work. The shoulder rest should match the size of the violin/viola (i.e. 3/4 or 4/4 instrument). Cellists will need to purchase a rock stop (a rubber disc that the endpin goes into for non carpeted areas). All students should have a music stand. A wire folding music stand is fine and portable. |
| Instrument Storage and Drop Off On Monday/Wednesday/Friday, please drop off your instruments to the Band Room. Before class, please bring your instrument to the Cafetorium Stage. 5th grade class will begin promptly at 1:15. 6th-8th grade class will begin promptly at 2:00. If your homeroom teacher permits, you may store your instrument in the classroom. |
