Dear Band Students and Families,
Welcome to the Vista Del Sur and Desert Meadows instrumental music department. I am pleased that you have decided to join us in our endeavor to create and perform music this year. You will have many opportunities to use the talents that you have been given and worked hard to develop.
While we are online, we will be focusing on band instruction through Google Meets. I will be setting up times with individuals or small groups to work on solo repertoire and chamber music opportunities while we are online. These are skills we don’t normally get to focus on as we are usually busy preparing for multiple performances throughout the year. I’m excited to use this opportunity to help students hone their individual skills.
While performance opportunities may look different this year, it is our goal to still be able to express ourselves artistically through online recitals and performances to the best of our abilities. Updates on school concerts/recitals, honor band auditions and performances, and Arizona music competitions will be forthcoming throughout the year.
If you have a question or concern about anything, please contact me via email (lwolfe@laveeneld.org) or phone.
I am looking forward to working with you and your family this year!
Sincerely,
Laura Wolfe
Director of Bands–
