Updates for 2019-20 School Year

Hello all! We have some quick updates for the 2019-20 school year:

Mrs. Harreld (me!) will return to teach general music and choir. General music happens during the school day. All students receive two 30-minute music lessons with me each week. We learn the basic elements of music, vocal technique, and how to play a multitude of instruments!
The Little Hawk Choir is for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. This is a before school program on Tuesday and Thursday morning - we start rehearsals in late September. There is no fee associated with this program. You must join ClassDojo (a communication app/website) so you can get updates about performances, field trips, etc. in a timely, efficient manner. I will walk you through this personally in September if needed.

Mr. Collins will return to teach 5th and 6th grade orchestra. Orchestra is available for 5th and 6th grade students. This program happens during the day on Monday and Wednesday - rehearsals start the first full week of school. Students need to provide their own instruments and book. (Scholarships, district-instrument rentals are available)

Ms. Bierman and Mrs. Harreld (me!) will be sharing the band program! This is a recent change. Mrs. Harreld will teach the 5th graders, and Ms. Bierman will teach the 6th graders. Band is available for 5th and 6th grade students. This program happens during the day on Monday and Wednesday - rehearsals start the first full week of school. Students need to provide their own instruments and book. (Scholarships, district-instrument rentals are available)

I will also be trying to run Ukulele Club again this year. We'll see how the schedule piece works out... I'd like it to be during an afternoon recess so 4th, 5th, and 6th graders can attend, but it might only work out to be available during lunch recess for 5th and 6th graders... I'm working on it, so please be patient! I'll know more information starting in September. There is no fee associated with this program. You must join ClassDojo (a communication app/website) so you can get updates about performances, field trips, etc. in a timely, efficient manner. I will walk you through this personally in September if needed.
