Dear Students and Parents,                                                            September 1, 2021

Welcome to the Music page on the OLH website! On the class pages listed on the left side of the page you will find links to instructional videos, interactive musical games/trainers, biographies and timelines as well as some classic music cartoons. All weekly classwork and assignments will be posted on Google Classroom. This site contains information and materials that will be used throughout the year and will be used as a supplement to our day to day work. I'm very excited about being able to return to more normal music classroom activities on a regular basis! Singing and the playing of classroom instruments such as the recorder, drum, tambourine and xylophone were limited or excluded from last year's program for practical and safety reasons. All safety guidelines will be followed as the children return to experiencing music in the Music room. I've included the starting weeks for Joyful Noise and Guitar classes below. I'm very hopeful about this year and I look forward to meeting you and seeing you around the campus! 

Sincerely,
Mr. Basar

Joyful Noise will begin on Monday, September 20. Rehearsal is from 3-4pm in the Music room. 
Guitar classes will be held on Tuesday (Advanced Beginning), Wednesday (Intermediate) and Thursday (Advanced) and will begin on September 28, 29 and 30, respectively. These three classes are after school and will take place in the Music Room from 3-4pm. 
A Beginning Guitar Class is in the process of being scheduled. This class will take place during the school day and is primarily for 2nd grade students but may include older ones. Starting date and time to be announced.
