Main | Music Education Improves Academic Performance »

An exciting year is ahead for the families and members of the Mabry Orchestra! The program continues to grow, in quantity and in quality and I anticipate this to be our strongest year yet.

We have a new room (with new carpet and paint) that provides more rehearsal space. The Mabry Symphony has received and accepted a prestigious invitation to perform at the 2006 Georgia Music Educators Conference in Savannah in January. We have commissioned a new work to receive its ‘World Premier’ at this performance. I’m looking into some other great ideas that will take the Mabry Orchestra and our study of music to higher levels.

Please check this space often. I’m determined to make this a valuable communication tool. In the next few days and weeks I will post important information here that will include our calendar, All-State Orchestra and Solo &Ensemble information, the orchestra syllabus and behavior management plan. I will also post here weekly on what we are working on in class so you can better monitor and aid your child’s musical development.

We’ve got a lot of exciting things happening this year that I hope you will want to be involved in. Don’t hesitate to contact me to talk about how you can help.

Thanks Mrs. Crane, Katie, Mark and Jenna for your help painting the room. It looks awesome!
