Glanford Middle School Band & Strings Application Form 2011/2012 Dear Parent: Welcome to the Glanford Middle School Music Program! Your child has been offered an opportunity to be involved in one of the fastest growing and one of the finest quality Music Programs in Victoria. The first step is for the elementary school students to express an interest in being involved next year and take this letter and application home. The next step is yours. Please fill in the attached application form and return your completed form to classroom teachers within the week. We have attached an information sheet which will answer many of your questions about how the instruments will be chosen. For those students interested in joining Band or Strings, decisions on instruments will be made in the fall, following a comprehensive look at all the instruments with the opportunity to try them all out. The music program is an excellent transition tool for students moving into the Middle School. It provides an excellent peer group for students to be involved in and starts the process of “involvement”, which helps students find social and academic success in the “exemplary middle school model”. The Music Program teaches students organizational skills and the importance of investment in oneself through individual practice to achieve excellence. It promotes the importance of teamwork and helps students learn the importance of peer support and student leadership. This is a unique opportunity for students in the public school system and should be taken advantage of by every student coming to Glanford Middle School. For a more detailed look at the music opportunities at Glanford, feel free to explore our new website, www.glanfordmusic.ca. We hope to meet you all in the coming months.
