BEGINNER STRINGS
BEGINNERS CLASS
Learning to play an instrument opens a whole new world of friendship and fun. This class is for students in K-3 who would like to begin learning a string insrument [Violin, Viola or Cello] Like all the arts, music has a profound effect on academic success, and participation provides a great foundation in all aspects of life. In addition to music, students learn self expression, self discipline, concentration, team work, enhanced physical coordination and much much more. Basic string fundamentals will be taught as well as music note reading. Your child will also be able to take advantage of music performances with the school orchestra. *Instrument rental is available. Please see Mrs Lane or Mr Berdos for a form and size measurement.
INSTRUMENT RENTAL
All students will need a rental instrument if they do not have their own. While it is not obligatory that our students rent from The Music Shop, it is by far the easiest way to do it, as they deliver directly to the school. String students need to be measured by either Mr Berdos or Mrs Lane for instrument size. Once measured, they need a rental form from The Music Shop, available from Mr Berdos and Ms. Miller's websites. Students need to bring these forms home for their parents to fill out, and then return the forms to Mr Berdos. The Music Shop driver collects forms each Thursday morning, and rental instruments will be delivered on the following Thursday. Parents can also go directly to The Music Shop (56 Fanny Road, Boonton, NJ - Phone: 800 553 0633), fill out a form, and drive away with an instrument all in one trip.
