From our Music Director

To all NCA parents.

We have finally begun working on our instruments in orchestra in 7th, 8th, and 9th grade, and looking at scales and some music. The challenges increase from here on out for the students and I, and we could really use your help. There are 7 different instruments represented in the orchestra at the moment, which means that, all things being equal, even with 90-minute blocks a perfect class will result in only 13 minutes of instruction for each individual instrument. My students and I want to make more progress that this, so we need your help! If you play or know someone who plays the violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, or any brass instrument, please get in touch or have them get in touch with me. If you could come in one day a month, or one day a week, or every other day, any amount would help us immensely. You would be coaching several students in the instrument you play. While they work on their music, you will help them remember proper posture, embouchure, and other technical details. You would help answer any questions they might have, and I would always be in the room and immediately available to help resolve any questions or issues that you didn’t feel qualified to deal with yourself. Even if you have only a little experience, you could help our beginners immensely! Please consider volunteering your time to help the orchestra be the best it can be. Call or e-mail me today!
