Welcome to Instrumental Music!!
As we head into a new school year, your child will have many new opportunities to enhance their learning. I am excited to introduce instrumental music to children. Each year, the 4th and 5th grade students have the opportunity to play an instrument. They can choose from the flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone and tuba (when available), snare drum and bells. Science has proven that music helps children to excel in school. Things such as coordination, reading and math skills may improve, especially in young children. It is my hope that your child will become a part of this integral aspect of their education. I will be handing out information regarding the program when I demonstrate the available instruments during school hours.
There is an informational meeting on Tuesday, September 17, 2025 at 7:00pm in the Tamaqua Area School District Auditorium. It is located across from the football field at the high school. Please email me with questions.
