Bell Top Strings

large view Rosewood Gardens - November 2007

Reminders: Instruments and music to school Wednesday, March 18, 2009 for Instrumental Festival at Genet.  We regret that limited seating precludes our inviting families to this event.

Parents should check string binders Friday evening for messages from Mrs. Glennie. The first year of instruction is the time to support our players' hand and body positions and their time management skills. 

A very valuable academic skill can be learned best in 5th Grade: that is noticing ahead of time that practice minutes will be slim on busy calendar days.  The families who plan formally for extra practice minutes in advance of hectic stretches create a lifelong habit of success in all areas of life.

Please call any time for an extra lesson on a weekend.  And be sure to speak to Mrs. Glennie if there is something she can do to make your playing more fun! 

Please highlight on your District calendar the following evenings. Participation in these performance contribute toward each child's report card grade and most importantly are always very special lifetime memories.
