The Lanai Road School Instrumental Music Program

Weekly classes are offered each Tuesday afternoon for students in grades 1 through 5 beginning October 7^th, 2008.  Instruction is available on flute, clarinet, sax, trumpet, trombone, violin and cello. First graders may only choose the violin. Students must be in at least third grade to choose the sax or trombone.

The orchestra program requires a one-year commitment and regular home practice. Classes are held Tuesdays (early dismissal). All grade 1 and grade 2 classes are held during regular school hours between 12:45 and 1:45 PM. All grade 3 through grade 5 classes are held after school between 1:45 and 4:45 PM.

No musical experience is required to enroll in a beginning class.  Classes run through the school year, culminating with a school orchestra concert beginning June.

Class size is limited and priority is given to the earliest applicants.

Music Fees

Lanai Road School Orchestra program is largely funded by FOLB.  A $15 music fee (which covers all music, books and basic supplies) and a $150 supplemental instructional fee is requested to help fund this program. (This fee should not be considered part of your annual giving for the "LoVE Fund" but is a supplemental fee used to fund this particular program.)  The only other expense will be the lease, rental or purchase of the instrument. (For instrument rentals, leases and purchases, visit www.stringseason.com)

A limited number of instructional scholarships are available to those who request them and every attempt will be made to see that ALL STUDENTS who wish to participate are given the opportunity.
