Syllabus
Syllabi for orchestra classes are due back to Mr. Wright by Friday, August 9th. This will be your student's first grade of the school year.
Orchestra Fees
Please return your student's $60 orchestra fee to Mr. Wright within the next week. This money is critical for our ability to make music purchases and repairs.
Remind Codes
The sooner all students and families are on the Remind messaging service the better. Please input the codes below into the Remind app based on your class. PARENTS, WE WANT YOU TOO!

Private Lessons
As students develop their schedules for the year, please consider private lessons for your students. Private instruction can help students improve rapidly and explore music they won't have opportunity to look at in my class. Follow the link below to see a list of options, or use Google to seek out opportunities!
Music, being identical with heaven, isn't a thing of
momentary thrills, or even hourly ones.
It's a condition of reality.
Gustav Holst, composer
