Welcome, Ayer and Maddux String Families!

We are ready to have a blast in Orchestra!

4th graders will soon begin a new adventure with string instruments. We will be focusing on good posture and left hand technique. Instruments and supplies should be obtained before August 13 if attending String Camp. Students not attending String Camp will need their instruments by the first day of school.

5th graders will spend the first several weeks of school learning to play together in five parts. New rhythms and finger patterns will also be introduced. We are really excited to experience a full orchestra sound!

6th graders are in for a treat! We will be playing pieces from different cultures and time periods. We are also planning a field trip to a local violin shop later this year. What a great learning experience!

Explore the site. Any information that is needed throughout the year will be posted. Check back often for announcements and updates!

4th Grade String Camp is August 13-16 at AHS! We will meet from 9-11am each day. There will be a special lunch with the AHS Orchestras from 11-12 on Aug. 16th. Our performance is Aug 16th at 6pm in the AHS Auditorium.

All classes and rehearsals will begin the second week of school. Many students have probably outgrown their instruments and will need to exchange them. I will be checking all instruments during the first two weeks of classes. A note will be sent home if a student needs a bigger instrument.
