After school lessons

I know a lot of students and parents have been asking about the after school lessons.  The sign up forms should have gone home today.  If you have any questions about the lessons at OCS you can reach via e-mail.  Sfirling@oxfordcentral.org. The due date to sign up is October 5th.  If you need to rent an instrument  (a good option, especially if your child changes their mind about what instrument to play) I have forms available from Hunterdon music.

2013-2014
What to look for this year?
Concerts - The Winter Concert is already scheduled for Wednesday, December 11th.  Get ready for the Jinglebell Jukebox.
Continued after school lessons - the students have already been asking - yes, there will be small group lessons for piano, guitar, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, flute, and saxophone again this year.  It appears that we already have students that will be using the flute and clarinet donated to OCS.  Also, there will be a private lesson option (Note: the fee for private lessons will be higher per week). Sign up forms should be coming home soon.
Benchmarks - students in the upper grades will have an opportunity to see how much they have learned 2013-14 school year in music.
Rhythm, instruments, history, moving, singing, guitars, xylophones, music elements..... there is always something to learn about and do in music.
