5th grade instrumental music header

How to Begin

It begins with exploring the instruments, learning more and signing up!

STEP 1: Students explore instruments!

At the start of each school year, our instrumental music teachers travel to all elementary schools to aid students in trying a variety of instruments that they may choose to learn throughout 5th grade and beyond.

➜ Look for information from your school with details on the instruments your student explored!


STEP 2: Families are invited to learn more!

After visiting each elementary school for instrument exploration, interested families are invited to attend information nights to learn more about the district’s music program and how to register their student to participate.

➜ Plan to attend one of the information nights held in September each year!

Tuesday, September 9, 2025
Kennedy Elementary School
6:30-7:30 p.m.

Tuesday, September 11, 2025
Prescott Elementary School
6:30-7:30 p.m.


STEP 3: Registration opens online!

Parents/guardians will register their student using an online form that will be linked from this page.

When registering, students must select the instrument they wish to play. If your student is unsure which instrument to choose, please reference the Instrument Exploration Form your student completed that was sent home by the school.

REGISTER NOW!

➜ Register by the deadline to ensure your student is on the schedule for the first week of lessons and rehearsals!

2025-2026 Registration Deadline:
Wednesday, September 17, 2025

NOTE: To register a student after the deadline, please reach out to the instrumental music director at your student’s school.


STEP 4: Sign up for a free, optional Super Lesson!

Near the beginning of the school year, students can choose to attend an optional Super Lesson – a free, one-hour evening session for students (and parents!) to learn the basics of your student’s instrument. Students only need to attend one session.
