Feb 17 Music update




It's great to see most music lessons underway! 

There are still some spaces if your student hasn't signed up to learn an instrument. We have some great clarinets, saxes, flutes and violins available!!
Timetables for lessons can be found on the music website and will continue to be updated.
Most of the remaining music groups will start over the next week and students can still join these. Students can see Mrs Bell for details if unsure and check details on the music website for details and signups. Daily group rehearsals and new timetables are advertised in the daily notices
Note a change of orchestra time: We will have orchestra this FRIDAY block 5 (not Monday as previously advertised). This will be followed by after school theory club for those who wish to join that.
Notes from the Feb 17 music talk can be downloaded from the Chisnallwood Music website.
