Upcoming Schedule Irregularities

4th Grade  Will have class tomorrow, October 8, and next Tuesday.  I will not be present on October 15.  Students will have a substitute, and will not need to bring violins to school that day.  We will continue working toward page 13 in Strictly Strings 1 (meaning we will try 11 tomorrow and 12 next Tuesday).  Once we can play those familiar songs, we will stay on that page for a few weeks to allow students to catch up.

5th Grade Has class as usual next week.  On Monday, October 18, I will not be present.  Students will have a substitute and do not need to bring their instruments to school.  Students who have mastered exercise 4 on page 4 and the songs on page 5 of Strictly Strings 2 can look at "Scarborough Fair."  It is a challenging arrangement, and I don't expect the whole orchestra to play it now; I will give time each class for students who are learning it to play it as an ensemble; perhaps other students can sing while we play.  We will continue with all 4 songs on page 5.

6th to 8th Grade Schedule is normal.  Please bring both books to class.

Thanks for supporting our program.
