Northern Middle School Instrumental Music Department Your Child Is Invited To Join The Band! Date: Tuesday, March 12th Time: 6:30 PM Place: Northern Middle School Dear Parent(s): This year's beginning class is now being organized. As the first step, we have met with all eligible students to introduce them to the program. As a result, your child is invited to join the new class. It is hoped that you will allow your child to participate in this unique educational opportunity. Band is a regularly scheduled class in the school day and is free of charge. It does not conflict with extra-curricular activities such as sports. To better acquaint you with the program, and to register all participating students, the above mentioned has been arranged. All interested parents and students are expected to attend . This will allow us to ensure that students will be playing the instrument best suited to them, and that proper instrument balance in the class will be maintained. Since students must furnish their own instrument, arrangements have been made with a reputable, full service music dealer to be present. This company has been recognized as a specialist in the school instrument business for many years, and as a convenience will present a risk free rental-purchase plan for your consideration. Of course, there is no obligation. There is also an option to rent a school owned instrument for the year and if that isn’t affordable the fee could be waived if needed. This plan allows you to rent a good quality instrument for your child to use on a monthly trial basis. Rental payments apply to the purchase if you decide to buy, or the instrument may be returned at any time with no obligation. A rental deposit of $15.00 will cover your first month of rental. Background instruments are slightly higher. Your child’s method book for class is an additional $8.95. In addition, your first month of damage coverage (LDW) is free as well. We hope that you will plan to attend . , So that all students will be ready by the first day of class, please come prepared to make your rental deposit to an instrument for your child to use. A credit or bank debit card will be needed to reserve the instrument. We look forward to seeing you at our meeting. Sincerely, Shelly Nance Children who study a musical instrument for at least three years outperform children with no instrumental training…. http://r.smartbrief.com/resp/mXuoiyzfyBrWtPCibSdzVdaK?format=standard
