Beginning Violin Lessons

To: All parents of Grade 3 students
From: Saint John and Area School String Program
Re: After school beginning violin lessons for students in grade 3
Dear parent/guardian,
The Saint John and Area School String Program will soon be starting beginning violin classes for the remainder of the 2016-17 school year. These classes, taught by Helen Gollings and Ai Leonard, start at grade 3 and can continue to grade 12.
This after school instruction opportunity is offered to interested grade 3 students across the district. Classes will be held at Havelock School in Saint John West. The first class will take place on Tuesday, January 10th, from 5:15-6:00 P.M.
 While we normally start students in grade 3 we do also consider requests from students in other elementary grade levels. A prime consideration is student commitment. Playing a stringed instrument is ideal for those students who thrive on stimulation and academic challenge.
Parents are responsible for transportation to and from Havelock School and to provide their child with an instrument. There is a small annual registration fee for all participating students ($30.00) but no charge for the actual lessons.
Please note that parent information sessions will be held on Wednesday, December 14 and Thursday, December 15th, 2016 at &P.M. at Havelock School.
Please email Ali Leonard at Alison.leonard@nbed.nb.ca if you need further information.
Note: There are a number of school owned instruments available for students who otherwise could not participate. Please contact Ali Leonard if you have any questions.
 
Yours truly,
Ali Leonard – String Teacher, ASD-S
