Message from the director:
Hello Everyone!! I am so excited to be back with the kids! At Norway, in sixth-grade students participate in a beginner band as their music course for the year. This is a required course although this website paints a different story. I can only customize so many features but we are going to use this website because of the great instrument demonstration videos and instrument matching tool which will us find the best instrument fit for each student. (Normally we would have done all of this in person at the end of fifth grade) Please watch the instrument demonstration videos and complete the instrument match tool form. You do not need to submit the interest form. Thank you!!

Instrument Matching Tool
