Band Info is here!
Hello Parents!
Below is a PDF of this years instrumental music program info. Please feel free to download and print a copy or keep an eye out for your student to bring home a hard copy!
If your student is interested in any of the following;
Winds- Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn
Strings- Violin, Viola, Cello
please visit Coles Music Online fill out a rental form and your instrument will be delivered right to Nativity for your students 1st lesson!
If your student is interested in Guitar, Bass, or Drum Set you will need to purchase one for your student. Due to the relatively affordable price of these instruments there is not currently a rental program available for them. Mr. Dair and I highly recommend the basic start packs available at local music stores. Keep an eye out for brand names like FENDER, YAMAHA, or GIBSON for guitar, or CB or YAMAHA for drum set if you come across an instrument in a large warehouse type store please reach out to Mr. Dair or I (dmyers@noolp.org) before you buy! There are many wonderful brands out there and even some great deals online however it is crucial to your students success that we find them an instrument that is a quality instrument which will promote positive playing habits.
Please make it a priority to attend our Parent Meeting SEPTEMBER 30th @ 6:30 in the MUSIC room #118 for more information regarding rentals, purchases, and the lesson programs!
Lessons will begin the week of OCTOBER 6th so please have ALL registration forms and instrument rental agreements filed by friday OCTOBER 3rd!
Sincerely,
Mr. Myers

About Mrs. Sharon Ferrio
Hi everyone! I'm very excited to join the Nativity Band team this year! I began playing the trumpet over twenty years ago and then started playing the French horn too. In high school, I was mostly a trumpet player for band and jazz music, but occasionally played French horn for orchestra. When I decided to study music at Immaculata University, I needed to focus more on one instrument so I chose the French horn. I graduated as a Music Education major and taught music for my first two years of teaching. Now, I play my instruments as a beloved hobby. I play the French horn regularly with the Quakertown Band and my trumpet occasionally makes special appearances at church events. I'm looking forward to teaching music lessons again and hope that my students will enjoy music as I have!
