Picture Day
The UGHS Orchestra will have individual pictures taken with their instruments on November 8th during the school day. Please send your student with their concert attire; they will change during class.

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
