"Practice Makes Perfect"

At the high
school and middle school, orchestra is a regular class and part of the
school schedule. Things are different at the Elementary level where
orchestra lessons and rehearsals are planned around the students classroom
schedules. Since Mrs. Nielsen only sees the younger students twice a week,
once at their group lesson at their school, and once on Wednesday for full
group Orchestra, it is very important that these are attended.
With only
four weeks until the Dessert Concert, every rehearsal and lesson is one more
chance to work on concert music. Please help your student remember
their instrument, music, and to come to their scheduled lesson and rehearsal
times. Beginning Orchestra meets on Wednesdays from 12:05 to 12:35 in the
Orchestra Room on the second floor of Luther Elementary School. Elementary
Orchestra is from 12:35 - 1:05 in the same place. Group lessons are posted
on the Orchestra Web site under Elementary Lessons. A link will be put on
the home page for you to find and use. |
