Do you want to learn how to play the
Violin? Viola? Cello? String Bass? Beginning Strings class instruction is offered at White Station Elementary school as part of the Shelby County Schools curriculum for fifth grade students. This class will prepare your child for the Strings and Orchestra classes which are offered at the middle and high school levels in many of the Shelby County Schools. When is it taught? Class will meet twice each week, on Tuesday and Friday mornings, from 7:30 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. Our first official class will be Tuesday morning, August 21st. What does it cost? There are no instruction fees or lesson payments. You will need to purchase–at a local music store–your own method book and supplies, which will cost about $25. Renting an instrument from one of the local music stores will cost $100-$150 for the year. The school has a limited number of instruments for loan, based on need. A student must have their supplies to be eligible for a school instrument. So how do I enroll? Complete the online application at: https://drpalmerstrings.weebly.com/ You can also scan the QR code at the bottom of the page, which will take you to the site. Registration should be completed by Friday, August 17. What happens next? Dr. Palmer will collect the applications online, and distribute acceptance letters no later than August 20th. During the first official class (August 21), he will make recommendations concerning the specific instrument for your child. This recommedation form will also include the size of the instrument, a list of necessary supplies, a list of local music stores, and other important information.
