Dear Parents and Guardians,
We would like to offer your child the opportunity to play a musical instrument.
The instrumental music program is a valued and integral part of the curriculum in the Falmouth Public Schools. Studying a musical instrument is rewarding, fun and has a positive impact on your child’s development that will last a lifetime. It develops responsibility, self-discipline, concentration, self-confidence, creativity and a lifelong appreciation of music.
We demonstrate the Band instrument options in September to all 4th graders, during school by the end of the 2nd week of school.
Instrument Demonstrations will be conducted at each Elementary School during the school day.
Students will be given information regarding Rental prices at school and you can find additional links below as well.
The Band lesson program will begin in October. For more information, please connect with your school's music teacher or just reference your school Calendar for specific dates and details.
Instruction will be provided by a certified music teacher with the assistance of qualified and responsible volunteers. The only cost to you is the rental or purchase of an instrument and the method book. Parents are responsible for their students’ transportation to and/or from rehearsal. Students must be dropped off or picked up promptly unless other arrangements have been made.
Through a bid process, Music & Arts was selected by the Falmouth Public Schools to offer a rental plan as a convenience to you. However, you may acquire an instrument, new or used, from any source. It is important that all students have the method book “Standard of Excellence” Book 1 (With CD). This book can be purchased on the rental site, online at Music & Arts. There is also a limited supply of school-owned instruments that students with financial hardships may use. Please email Mr. Steven Edwards to discuss this.
Please feel free to email us or call if you have any questions or concerns.
Cordially,
Steven Edwards : [email protected]
Weekly lessons begin in October: For the dates and times, just reference your child's school calendar or connect with your child's music teacher directly.

The impact of music education on children is profound.
Music does more than just make sounds, it changes the way we think and act. The skills your child will learn in music will help them be successful on the stage, in the classroom, and for the rest of their lives.
