Welcome to orchestra! We're excited to get started with making beautiful music this year. All students in 4th and 5th grade are invited to participate!
The Mounds View Elementary Orchestra Program is structured with weekly large-group rehearsals (all instruments before school), and small group lessons (by instrument) at school during the school day. Small group lessons will be scheduled in the middle of September and Large group rehearsals take place in
Room 148 BEFORE school except when school is not in session:
*4TH GRADE LARGE GROUP is on Thursdays at 8:05-9:05 AM, begins September 15 for Summer Beginners,
Fall Beginners will have Large Group Lessons on Fridays beginning on September 23.
*5TH GRADE LARGE GROUP is on Wednesdays from 8:05-9:05 AM, begins September 14**
**If your child is entering 5th grade and does not have previous orchestra experience, they will begin with small group instruction and will join 5th grade orchestra large group rehearsals at a later date.
Along with orchestra lessons and rehearsals, there are evening and school day concerts which highlight the growth of the students in the winter and spring each year. (Concerts are subject to change if COVID recommendations change.)
