I heard it's been 11years - possibly more since we have been able to do this - OCS has sent 2 students to the 6th Grade All County Band. The students sent to this have to be able to play a concert band instrument (woodwind, brass or percussion) and meet certain criteria - such as instrumental technique and an ability to read music. The students selected to go are a part of the before/after school music lessons that we have here at OCS and had to work hard to not only meet to criteria to be invited but also, to learn music to spend a day with some of the best 6th grade instrumental students in the county and participate in a 100+ student ensemble for an evening concert. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Students in grades 4th - 8th can take instrumental music lessons at OCS. Both private and group lessons are available. The sign up form can be found on the "Student Backpack". In the past students have learned piano/keyboard, percussion, trumpet, trombone, flute, guitar, saxophone, ukulele... If your son/daughter is interested in lessons check out the form for more information. If you have any questions you can reach me at sfirling@oxfordcentral.org .
