HIJH Instrumental Music Information
2016-2017
A Message from the Directors...
Thank you for considering 6th grade instrumental music! This is a wonderful opportunity for your child, as there is nothing else in the WORLD quite like the study of a musical instrument. Learning to play a musical instrument and belonging to a performing ensemble opens up a new world of friendship and opportunity.
Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate School is able to offer 6th graders the opportunity to study a musical instrument during the regular school day. This enables students to continue their participation in other activities, like sports, church youth groups, clubs, etc. Home practice will be important, but if students use their time wisely, there is easily time for everything.
We encourage you to spend time talking to your child about the benefits of studying an instrument. Discipline, teamwork and dedication to excellence are all skills that students will gain through their musical study.
Now is the time to begin a musical journey that will last a lifetime...and the possibilities are endless!
Bravo!
Michelle Oyler and Ben Yoder

Instrument Testing Day!
All 5th Grade Students will have the opportunity to test instruments on
Friday, May 6th. They will accompany their homeroom teacher down to the LGI room at some point during the school day and work with the music directors and other professional musicians to select an instrument that is right for them.
Your child should come home with a BLUE INSTRUMENT TESTING SHEET. In preparation for the day, please work with your student to fill out the form and choose their top three instrument choices. They should then return that form as soon as possible to their homeroom teacher.
Please note, all students will test on instruments unless parents choose to opt out. Please see the bottom of the sheet if you are wanting to opt your child out of testing.
