It is beginning to come together

* * * There have been a few inquiries about the wearing of masks. All entering the building will be asked to wear a mask. Students may remove their masks upon entering the room and sitting in their seat. Students will be expected to put their masks back on after class, while leaving the room and building. The group(s) will follow the guidelines for whatever level we are at, during the semester. * * *

Online options are Choir, Guitar, World Percussion, and Guitar. Bands/Strings are in person only. Guitar and Choir have the option of either online or in person. Those interested in online groups can be from anywhere in the country, as long as there is a good internet connection.

Original post:

We are working to finalize plans for the fall semester - our 18th year. No doubt it will be a different year from those past, but we are proceeding with the best plan we can come up with, due to the circumstances.

All the groups are being considered and worked on, however today, we are focusing on one group that has been finalized and ready to take enrollment - Bitty Beats. This is our preschool class for kids 2 1/2 - 6 years old. This class will meet virtually, through Zoom. The director, Miss Emily has experience with teaching groups online and will offer a great option for kids, that won't have to leave their home. This also allows kids from all over the country to join in. If have relatives that would be interested in a 30 minute music class for their preschooler, please let them know about Bitty Beats.
The class is $60. for 10 weeks of classes. A variety of themes, props, and materials are used, to supplement at-home learning.

Classes start on September 18th, and run through November 20th - on Fridays, at 10am. Contact me at hsmom@sbcglobal.net with questions and enrollment information.

Looking toward fall

Covid has certainly had an impact on our group.

The Encore directors are working on putting groups together, based on the interest of returning families. If you have not received a survey, please email hsmom@sbcglobal.net for a link to the survey.

Some families are willing to return, to groups, in person. Others have expressed interest in online options. Once we hear from the majority of our families, and interested new families, decisions can be made.

Thanks for all your support. Stay tuned to this site and our group facebook site, for updates.

New and returning families can submit the survey at the link below.
