FLUTOPHONE

As part of this year’s music curriculum, 4^th grade students will be learning to play the flutophone. A flutophone is a pre-band instrument that is used to introduce music reading and appreciation.

Below is a copy of the letter that will be sent home to be signed and returned before your child will be given a flutophone to play:

RE: Music/Flutophone

Dear Parent/Guardian:

As part of this year’s music curriculum, your child will be learning to play the flutophone. The flutophone presents a wonderful opportunity to introduce music reading and appreciation. I hope that by giving the students a positive, enjoyable learning experience they will be encouraged to develop a lifelong interest in music.

The school has purchased a flutophone for each student; however, your child must EARN the right to keep it by consistently participating in class while maintaining a positive attitude,satisfactory (S) conduct and a grade, in music, no lower than a “B”. I ask that you be aware of this as your child’s parent/guardian and discuss this with him/her. Please read, sign, and return the bottom portion of this letter to me. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at school: 642-3675 ext. 3631 or minette.veazey@parisssd.org I appreciate your support.

Thank you,

Minette Veazey
