Congratulations on choosing to enroll your child in The ELEMENTARY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM! Studies have shown that students who play instruments beginning in elementary school and continuing into high school score higher on standardized tests, have better thinking abilities and understand mathematics, science and geometry better than those who don’t study music. Above all, these lucky students will experience a lifetime of fulfillment through musical expression.

This enrichment program offers beginning group lessons on string instruments for 4th graders and on band instruments for 5th graders. Lessons are scheduled for 30-minutes and are given to small groups of the same or similar instruments once per week. These lessons often mark the beginning of a lifetime of studying and playing a musical instrument. If you and your child are willing to make the commitment necessary to succeed, it’s an investment that you never will regret.

The Beverly Public Schools Fine Arts Department is pleased to offer your child with a wonderful opportunity to discover the joys of playing a musical instrument. Please read the information on this website carefully and so that you and your child will be able to make the most of this exciting music enrichment program. This information is provided to you as an overview of the program so that you and your child may make informed decisions about participating in the program.

From all of the instrumental teachers in Beverly Public Schools, thank-you for supporting your child’s interest in learning to play a musical instrument.
