Violin Video- The violin is the highest member of the string family, often plays the melody, and its repertoire contains more virtuosic music. The violin's sound can range from the brilliant high notes, down to the G below the treble staff.

Viola Video- A viola sounds lower than a violin, but is held/played in the same way. Many violists choose the instrument because of the lush and deep sound when compared to violin.

Cello Video: The Cello is the "tenor" of the string section. Sometimes playing a lead line, and sometimes serving as the accompaniment, the cello has some medium-high notes, but also plays very low.

Double Bass Video (offered in SIXTH GRADE): The Double Bass (or String Bass) is the "bass" (obviously) of the orchestra. Usually playing the bass line, this instrument rarely gets the melody line in orchestra, but the part is integral to the music! This is the lowest pitched string instrument.

Student's 1st Choice of Instrument

Student's 2nd Choice of Instrument

Most students begin in 5th grade orchestra as beginners with NO prior experience on their instrument. It is helpful to know if any students have prior experience on their instrument.

The student has NO prior experience on the instrument they will be playing in orchestra

The student DOES have some prior experience on this instrument through group classes, such as the UNT String Project

The student DOES have some prior experience on this instrument through one-on-one private lessons with an instructor

Clear selection

Does the student have any prior musical training (from a teacher) on any instrument or voice outside of school, such as private piano lessons, group guitar classes, etc.? If so, please briefly describe below:

After reviewing the options on the orchestra website about how to get an instrument (https://sites.google.com/g.dentonisd.org/orchestra/resources/supplies?authuser=0) I believe I will most likely get an instrument through:

Rental from a district-approved music store (most common method)

DISD Fee Waiver Program: I believe the student will qualify for free or reduced lunch in Denton ISD next year and will check out an instrument from the school district

Purchase from a recommended music store (only recommended if the student will be using a full-size instrument, which most 5th graders are not)

I believe that we already own an instrument that my child may be able to use next year (remember that if a family member owns a full-size instrument, it may be unlikely that the student will be able to use it their beginning year)

Clear selection

My child and I have discussed the orchestra expectations, including the class schedule, attendance, and practice expectations that were described in the information letters provided. We believe that my child will be able to meet the expectations to participate successfully in the orchestra class and ensure a successful, fun year for all students involved. If my child has a special need that might affect their orchestra participation in any way, I will contact Mr. Napier as soon as possible to develop a plan and resources to assist my child in orchestra.

Strongly Agree

Need More Information: My child may have a special need or special situation that could affect their orchestra participation. I will contact Mr. Napier or Ms. Richardson with details and/or questions to determine how their individual needs can be met in the orchestra class

Clear selection

The orchestra has a set number of open slots on each instrument and they can fill up. Students will be enrolled on an instrument on a first come first served basis by filing out this form. Email Mr. Napier or Ms. Richardson (rnapier@dentonisd.org or rrichardson@dentonisd.org) if you have any questions!

A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
