Beginning Band & Beginning Orchestra

Monday, July 14th, 2008

We will be offering Beginning Band and Beginning Orchestra classes for the Fall 2008 semester.  These courses are designed for the beginning student who is currently in a home school or charter school environment. 

They are meant to provide a group learning and performance opportunity that might otherwise not be available.  Primarily for ages 9 - 14, others will be considered on a case by case basis.

The semester will run for 14 weeks.  All classes will begin the week of September 1st, with Labor Day as a holiday with no classes and end on Wednesday, Dec 10th.  The Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving will also be taken as a holiday.

Instrument rentals are available.  Tuition for the 14 week class and the Band/Orchestra Method Book is a total of $250.00.

Early enrollment is encouraged to allow time for course materials to arrive……in other words….if you or someone you know is interested, you need to sign up now.  Call us at 212-8745 to enroll or get more details about the class.

The Teacher:  Laura Friedlander, Instrumental Music Instructor, holds a Bachelor of Music/Business, a Master of Music Performance and several hours towards a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Education.  She taught band and orchestra at both the middle school and high school levels for several years in North Carolina before relocating to Las Vegas.  Mrs. Friedlander has also taught General Music (K-12) as well as university courses to Music Education majors.  In addition to her teaching, she has performed with the Wichita Syphony, the Terre Haute Symphony, the North Carolina Symphony, the Winston-Salem Broadway Preview Series and other organzations around the country.
