New Parent Meeting Notes

Hello All! 

Thank you to all the parents who came out to our New Parent Meeting tonight. Below are some key notes that were discussed!

- band registration closes October 7th please have all registrations and instrument orders in by then! (See post below)

-lessons begin the week of OCT 12th!!!

-rental instruments will be delivered on Wednesdays so please be sure to have any orders placed before Tuesday end of day to ensure they are on the truck

- practice requirements vary from student to student but we encourage them to try and play just a few minuets 5-10min every day! This repetition will help build their "chops" so they can play for long stretches. 

- tuition is due the start of each trimester. You will recieve a paper statement so keep an eye on those take home folder

-students should have fun! This program is meant to foster your child's passion for music... With that being said there is no "bench" in music we all play the concert so our band mates are counting on us to work hard and be prepared!!

-guitar students do not need amps at school one will be provided!

-all students must bring their instruments and Books to every lesson 

-orchestra book: all for strings 

-guitar book: Mel bay guitar book 1

-winds: essential elements 2000

These are all the things I remember, however it is late so as I remember things I'll add them on!

-Mr. Myers

End of the Year info!

Hello Parents,

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all your support this year in the Fine and Performing Arts department here at Nativity. Mr. Dair, Mrs. Ferrio, Mr. Gooding and I are so proud of all the hard work your students have put in. It has been an amazing experience to see this program grow and flourish and to see your students progress throughout this past year. 

Attached is a flyer with information regarding rental returns (if your student had decided to stop or switch instruments) and Summer Lesson information. Please take a moment to read through the attached flyer and don't hesitate to email me if you have any future questions. 

Later today or tomorrow I will be sending out a link to our "One Happy Band" Video. Your students have worked hard this past few weeks since the concert to learn, record, and film a fun video that we think captures the spirt of our program! Please keep an eye on your inboxes. 

Thank you again, and we hope to see you all in the fall of 2015!

Sincerely, 

Mr. Myers
