Watchung Hills Sending Districts

Summer Band - 2008

Sponsored by the Long Hill Township PTO

Dear Parents:

Our summer enrichment course is available to new musicians and current band student, grades 4 through 12, who wish to continue and preserve their instrumental skills. The program runs two, three and four weeks. A 45 minute lesson and band rehearsal will be scheduled for all Intermediate, Advanced and H.S. students. Each beginner band member will attend a half hour lesson and a theory class. Lessons and band will meet every day, Monday through Friday.

Parents: We took your suggestion! The Intermediate and Advanced groups will attend two 45 minute classes to allow for better retention on the more difficult music and skills. Beginners will stay at 60 minutes to start. 30 minute group piano has also been added this year as well as a beginner guitar class.
