Before and after school group instrumental lessons are available for grades 4th-8th.  (parents of younger students please contact me if you are interested).  The sign up forms can be found on the online "back pack".   The chrome books are new for the 5th grade and will be used at times for all 5th - 8th grade students during music class.   Have a great year!!!
