Attention 3rd and 4th Grade Parents!
Now is your chance to enroll in the Salt Creek District 48 instrumental music program. All interested third and fourth graders will be given an opportunity to join the band or orchestra program and aide in continuing the tradition of musical excellence in District 48.
Research tells us that students who undertake the study of a musical instrument will benefit themselves in a positive way. Music study has a powerful effect on the intellectual and creative development of children. One noted author, teacher and musician Don Campbell, has written a book on “The Mozart Effect” which describes how children listening to the music of Mozart have increased verbal, emotional, and special intelligence, plus improved concentration and memory. In band and orchestra students do not only listen to the music of Mozart, they also take an active role in performing his music!!
Through joining one of our performance organizations, your child will be offered the following: one lesson per week during the school day. The lesson will be offered during their general music class time to ensure a student does not miss any other classes.
Your child will be introduced to Band and Orchestra instruments throughout the month of April. During the next four weeks, the instruments will be demonstrated so they can hear the ranges and pitches for all band and orchestra instruments. Your child will have the opportunity to explore all the instruments. Following the instrument demonstrations, there will be an evening orientation for parents and students at a later date.
Take time to read all the registration materials and discuss with your child the importance of joining their school music program. There are many extra events and opportunities that are a part of a music program and you don’t want to miss out on the fun.
We look forward to meeting you and do not hesitate to contact us with any questions and or concerns.
