King 5th Band Sign-Ups!
SIGN-UP'S OPEN - WEDNESDAY, MAY 5TH
Dear 4th Grade King Families,
We are very excited for 4th grade students at King Elementary School to to sign up for 5th grade band starting WEDNESDAY, MAY 6TH. This applies to ALL 4th grade students who are interested in playing a band instrument at King for the 2021-2022 school year. EVERY 4th GRADE STUDENT who wants to be in band must fill out the Google Form below with your TOP 3 instrument choices.
These are your band instrument options to choose from:
- Trumpet
- Trombone
- Flute
- Alto Saxophone
- Clarinet
- Snare drum/Bells
4th Grade Students will ONLY pick ONE instrument to play for their entire 5th Grade Year, but you will list your top 3 choices in the Google Form. For students who are borrowing an instrument from the school, you will most likely get your first instrument choice, but we will let you know if that changes! Students who are renting from Centre Music House, you can choose your first choice instrument but please talk with Ms. Espina before renting your instrument for the 2021-2022 school year.

ALL KING BAND STUDENTS - please be careful with your instrument. Whether it is school-owned or rented/purchased, it's expensive. Also, you don't a music teacher at home who knows how to fix them if things go wrong. Please handle them gently, don't let your younger sibling try them, and NEVER leave them in the cold! Even inside cars or garages, the winter is too cold and problems will definitely happen.
If you plan to rent your band instrument from Centre Music House, and you would like to start playing before I have the chance to walk you through things in the fall, find a YouTube video on how to put an instrument together. This will ensure that you don't break anything. If you're borrowing an instrument and haven't yet filled out the form below, please still do so.
Meet Ms. Espina!
Hello everyone!
My name is Ms. Jade Espina and I am your general music, strings, or band teacher! I teach strings/band at Stapleton Elementary on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings, band at King on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons, general music at Woodrow Wilson Elementary on Thursdays, and general music at BLOCKS Preschool on Fridays. This is my first year teaching music in Framingham Public Schools. I have taught children's choirs and private voice and piano lessons for the past two years. I earned my undergraduate degrees from the University of Colorado-Boulder in music education and voice performance and my Master of Music in Voice Performance from Boston University. I am an active opera singer, and also love to perform in the styles of music theatre, rock, jazz, and pop.
I was born in West Palm Beach, Florida but grew up in Fort Smith, Arkansas with my parents and two sisters. I grew up playing violin in orchestra, taking piano lessons, playing volleyball, and singing in choirs all throughout elementary school to high school. I currently live with two really wonderful roommates in Boston! Although I am far from my family, I do love it here in Framingham, and can't wait to make music with you all! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns!
