Please note that most schools are starting band the week of Monday September
20th. Instruments for registrations done by Thursday, Sept. 16th will be at
your child's school on the first day of band. Instruments for orders placed
after that time, may not be available for the first day of class. However we
will get your child an instrument as soon as possible. Please have your child
attend class even if they do not yet have their instrument.
Returning students should have received a re-up form in the mail. We are not
currently accepting on-line registration for returning students. If you did
not receive your re-up form, please call our office at 847-805-1800. Thank you.
Come Join the Band!
This fall, Music Education Services will offer your child the opportunity to join
the school band, and classes are being formed right now!
Students will have the opportunity to attend a half-hour performance by a professional trio, featuring a number of songs during which all of the band instruments are demonstrated and explained. A few days later, interested students will have the chance to try two instruments as part of a hands-on exploration of their interests.
Music Education Services will return to your child's school for a third time to meet with parents, answer any questions, and sign-up the students. More detailed information will be distributed at each of the school visits. If you cannot attend the sign-up for some reason, please feel free to give us a call at 847-805-1800
Band is a great choice for both advanced musicians and newcomers to music making. Beginning classes consist almost entirely of students with no prior band experience!
Playing an instrument gives your child a worthwhile activity, and provides something artistic to do during leisure time. A student who learns to play a musical instrument not only develops discipline and cooperation, but also enjoys creativity and success through his or her own efforts. Moreover, recent university research has demonstrated that playing an instrument is directly linked to improved test scores.
The instruments your child can explore further in the band program are listed below.
This is an excellent chance for your child to participate in a truly worthwhile,
broadening, musical experience. We at Music Education Services hope you take
advantage of this opportunity.
