**Fifth Grade Strings Announcement!**


**Canyon Ridge, Las Lomas, Stone Oak Elementary Schools**
Dear Strings Parents,
I am very excited that your child has chosen to learn a string instrument! It is a fun and rewarding experience,
and playing an instrument will create a deep appreciation for music and the arts that your child will have for the
rest of their life.
Because of the number of students signed up for Fifth Grade Strings this year, the amount of space available
dictates that we must split up the class into a violin class on Mondays and a viola/cello/bass class on
Wednesdays. This schedule will begin on Monday, September 26. If your child plays the violin, he or she will
ride the bus to Canyon Ridge on Monday and NOT on Wednesday. If your child plays the viola, cello, or bass,
he or she will ride the bus to Canyon Ridge on Wednesday and NOT on Monday.
I apologize for this more complicated schedule, but your child will participate in a higher quality, more
individualized rehearsal with a smaller amount of students in the class. Mr. Sharplin and I can give each student
more personal attention and we believe it will create a better fifth grade strings experience. Below is the
schedule for the next few months. Please let me know if you have any questions!
