Instrumental Music |
The instrumental program is taught by Kim Thompson. Any student in grades 4 - 8 interested in playing a band instrument is welcome to participate.
All students attend a weekly small group lesson during the school day. The lesson schedule is easy to follow, flexible and designed to maximize student attendance in their other classes.
