A New Year in Music!

Hello Parents!

I’m Ms. Ali, and as the ‘Arts Coordinator’ I will be teaching Music, Art, Drama, and ICT this year. I’m really looking forward to the 2012/2013 school year, and would like to let you know of some important information.

The Holiday Concert will be Saturday, 15 December

The End of Year Concert will be Saturday, 15 June

(If you are unable to attend on either of these dates, please let myself or Admin know as soon as possible).

After-school clubs are always a great way to explore new things, and this year Montessori By The Sea will be offering for the first time ever, a Hand-Bell Club! The practice days for this club will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. This club will run from October through December and is open to Elementary and MYP students.

MBTS has always had a great reputation for it’s great choirs, and this year I would like to start an after school choir. The practice days for this club will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after school. I do understand that students have different commitments after school, so for this club I ask that students attend at least 2 rehearsals per week (but all 3 would be great, too!). This club will run year-round and is open to Elementary and MYP students.

I am also pleased to bring back Drumming Club and Steel Pan Club which will be held in either Term 2 or 3, and will be open to Elementary and MYP students.

This year, I would like to increase our exposure to the community, and showcase our amazing ensembles. To this end, there may be some performances outside of school hours/days in which members of these clubs will be invited to participate.

If you have questions/concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at ms.ali@mbts.ky. You are always welcome to find me in the Specialty Room (behind Casa, near the playground).

Thank you very much, and I can’t wait to share my passion for the Arts with your children this year!
