Dear Parents,

I would like to welcome you and your family into the music community here at Turner Creek Elementary School. We are very excited to have you here, and want to take this time to celebrate not only the hard work your child will put into the next year in music class, but also the skills that they will develop through their musical experiences.

The lifelong benefits your child will obtain through music expand beyond the classroom and are transferable to every other academic subject.

On our Music Class Webpage, I will include helpful information and opportunities for your student and the various ways you can get involved in your child’s musical journey this year. This website will include information for our Music Sharing Day, Homemade Musical Instrument Band, 3-5 Grade Ribbit Recorders Woodwind Ensemble, Frogapoolza Performances, Fourth Grade Symphony Field Trip and much more.  The Music Class Webpage can be found under the heading of “Academics and Programs” on our Turner Creek Elementary Website.

Turner Creek also offers the opportunity for your fourth and fifth grade student to join our Turner Creek Concert Chorus. All students in fourth and fifth grade are welcome to join! The information for our TCE Concert Chorus is also located on our TCE Website under the heading of “Students.”

Again, welcome to our musical family and I look forward to meeting you!

Mary Elliott Michael
