Instrumental Music Program
Dear Parents and Students,
Instrumental music is about to begin at Quail Run Elementary and I am excited to get things started! Instrumental music will be held twice a week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday (please see the specific class times for each instrument). Each class will be divided into similar instruments and will be 45 minutes long. All classes begin the week of August 25th. Please make sure that your child has his/her instrument and assigned music book. Music students are expected to participate for the entire year and are required to practice an average of 15 minutes daily.
Instruments:
If you do not already have an instrument, I suggest that you rent a violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet or trombone. I recommend that you go to a local music store to arrange a rental. They will guide you in acquiring a quality instrument so that your child will have the best chance at success, and string students will be provided the correct size instrument.
Books:
All Method Books wil be provided and distributed during class. Please make sure that your student has the following music book that corresponds to the instrument your child will play.
Beginning Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Violin, Viola, and Cello
