Reminder to Sign Up for Band/Strings for your 4th, 5th and 6th Grader
Dear Parents, A gentle reminder to sign up your child(ren) who are in 4th, 5th or 6th Grade for Band or Strings. We have a vibrant program with AMAZING teachers. It is a great way to experience and learn how to read music. If you know that your child will continue in band or strings or is planning on participating, please do complete the google form now. Most students play an instrument in grades 4 - 6.
Strings is offered to students in grades 4 - 6. As 4th grade is the initial entry, we typically have over 95% participation. Ms. Ahnika Emery, aremery@fcps.edu, and Mr. Christopher Fyhr, chfyhr@fcps.edu, are amazing instructors and available with questions. They will be introducing the various strings instruments – viola, violin, cello and bass to the rising 4th graders. Playing a strings instrument is a wonderful start to beginning or continuing a musical experience! Note that we do differentiate! Sign up here!
Band is offered to students in grades five and six. Band instruction begins in 5th grade. Students who participated in strings in the fourth grade either stay with the strings instruction or explore a new instrument in band. We have Mr. Brad Zimmerman, bszimmerman@fcps.edu, and Mr. Sam Gurian, sigurian@fcps.edu, both amazing experienced FCPS band instructors. They will introduce the various wind, brass and percussion instruments in the next few weeks. Here is the link to sign up now. You are welcome to reach out to the instructors or the school administration team with questions.
