(Every students who wants to play, can. See me. We CAN work it out.)

3. Come to a Music Discovery Night (Mon 9/17 or Tues 9/19; 6:00-8:30PM) and try out a few instruments.
4. Make a choice on an instrument.

Loser’s music will be on hand with rental information at both music discovery nights.
6. Commit and enroll in the program.

8. Ensemble rehearsals begin after 1st lesson. (5th Band, D 4 & 6; 6th Band, D 1 & 5; Orchestra, D 2 & 6)
9. Practice 3 times a week for about 30 minutes a session.
10. Show off your musical skills at our concerts and performances! (See calendar link.)
We study music in ensembles to:
have fun, collaborate with others, develop creativity, listen and respond to others, learn a fantastic ancient art, mature our character, develop autonomy, exercise our minds like nothing else can, become problem solvers, hone our focusing skills, give something back to others and create something beautiful.
