EXTENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

We have created this page as a resource for parents and students who are looking for extra instrumental music learning or performance opportunities. You and your student should also always feel free to ask your director (Mr. Pelphrey, Mrs. Olis, Mr. Stanley) for advice about any of these activities - or any others that you may be considering. They are happy to help!

Got a camp or other activity for us to add to the list? Email us and we will share it here!
