Hello everyone,
It has been a crazy start to this school year but I am finally getting caught up and have had time to update our website. Please see below for a few updates. Orchestra and Guitar Social-- Saturday, September 23 Please join us for food, games, and outdoor fun with Orchestra and Guitar families and students! Pizza and drinks will be provided, and families are encouraged to bring sides or desserts to share with everyone. We won’t have an official sign up for our potluck, bring anything you would like to share, but please RSVP using the link below so we know how many pizza and drinks to provide. What: Fall Picnic for Orchestra and Guitar students and their families When: Saturday, September 23, 10:00 AM- 2:00 PM (come and go as you are able) Where: Northwest District Park Area C, 7000 Ardath St, Austin, TX, 78757 Please RSVP by Wednesday, September 20th Link to RSVP: Murchison Orchestra and Guitar Picnic Please reach out to Mr. Clinton ([email protected]) or Jessica Dvorscak (j[email protected]) with questions. Instrument If your child plays the cello or the bass, their instruments are ready for pick-up. Please email me directly to set up a time to come and pick up your child’s home instrument. Homework We have officially started homework in orchestra, Yay! Everyone has been given a homework log and is given things to practice at the end of each class. Students are also given their pass-offs (tests) at the start of the week. I have updated each class page with what their homework assignment is and what their pass-off will be for the week. To find your child’s class page, click the classes tab at the top of the page and select your child’s class period. If a student gets a failing grade, or does not pas-off, they will have the opportunity to retake the test during each class. They can also come during Morning Practice on Monday - Thursday from 7:45 - 8:15 or after school on Monday - Wednesday until 4:45. Students should practice 4 - 5 days a week for 20 - 30 minutes. Parents, please encourage your child to play for you at home. Try to set a regular time for practice. If you child needs help with music, please have them come to morning practice Monday - Thursday mornings from 7:45 - 8:15. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me.
