WELCOME
BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!
The
new school year is launched and we are experiencing the joy of making music.
Thank you for your support and particularly for encouraging your student to
continue (his/her) study of music. This investment of time, effort and energy
will produce lifelong dividends.
Throughout
the year you will be receiving communications from our Choral Music Department
concerning upcoming concerts and other pertinent information. I also will be
sending you compelling research data about the importance of music study in the
development of your child. The world of education is in a constant evolution
and you, as a responsible and concerned parent, must be apprised of the latest
information gleaned from research studies. This information will aid you in
helping your student make wise choices that are certain to benefit (his/her)
future.
Evidence
continues to focus on the arts (music) as a vital component in the positive
growth of every child. For years we have pointed to the music students as those
who have demonstrated a special talent. However, based on extended studies we
now know it is the very process of learning music that develops the artistic
mind and brings forth the creative potential in all young people. For this
reason, continued membership in our musical family is strongly encouraged.
We
are extremely excited to be continuing the tradition of excellence with the
Eastern View High School Cyclone Choir. The following pages will explain the
Classroom policies and procedures, grading policies, and outfit information.
Also included in your packet is your outfit/t-shirt order form, medical form, parent
volunteer form, and choral contract.
Please complete these forms and turn them in to the choir office by the
specified due dates.
It
is a privilege to have your student as a valued musician in our organization.
Thank you for your support of music education at Eastern View High School. You
play an important role in everything we do. Welcome to our new school year! Go
Cyclones!!!
Sincerely,
Tiffany
