Strings program starting soon

The following message was provided by Mrs. Anderson, our Strings Program teacher:

With the start of a new school year comes the start to new strings classes!  


I look forward to seeing all the excited faces as I come around to each classroom next week to announce the registration for strings class.  I will hand out the registration packets and talk to the students about what to expect for this term.  The registration forms will be due back the following week (week of Sept 16 – 20) to me, Mrs. Anderson, as they come to their first strings class.  Please do not give any forms or money to your classroom teacher or the front office.  

This will be an exciting year of new adventures in string playing!

Lord Tennyson offers the VSB Elementary Strings Program to Grades 4-7 students as an enrichment to the regular music curriculum. Students can choose from the violin, viola, and cello. Participation is optional, and class size is limited to 28 students per grade. 

The itinerant Strings teacher comes to the school once per week to teach the intermediate grades. Students leave their regular class to participate in this program.  Students are expected to practice at home during the week. The students perform in at least two evening concerts each year, one in December and one in the late Spring.

Registration for the Grade 4 beginner class occurs in May of the students' Grade 3 year.  Registration information will be posted on this website once announced.
