Welcome Concert/Open House | August 25

Dear Hawks,

Classes are underway and we are so excited to be playing music in our orchestra room all day long, and it’s been great getting to know all of our new members.  We have many new things to go over at our parent meeting/welcome concert, so it’s a great meeting to attend for new members as well as returning members.  Please make every effort to attend.  Paper copies of the annual forms will be available at the meeting.  The booster club will also be on hand to collect the annual orchestra fee, and student members will receive a bonus for attending.

Private Lessons

Please fill out the following form to sign your student up for private lessons: 

https://forms.gle/SoAKrKMyYjwUcV5K8

Private lessons are an essential component of musical and instrumental development.  Typically a private teacher will give your student an individual lesson in a private lesson room during class.  This allows for individual, focused attention to the needs of the student, allowing for them to learn the most advanced solo material, leading to the strongest and most consistent progress as a musician and musical athlete.  Lessons also give your student the greatest chance at higher musical achievement, such as placement in the All-Region Orchestra, and/or high achievement at the Solo & Ensemble Festival.

Some of the advantages of taking private lessons are:

Individualized instruction and attention to the specific needs of the student.

Unique solo music not available in class.

Unique music skills not available in class.

Advanced repertoire for Solo & Ensemble festivals.

Advanced skill and repertoire for All-Region and All-State auditions.

Our lesson teachers are highly qualified and experienced.  In addition to teaching, they regularly perform as professional musicians throughout the metroplex and beyond.  Their schedules may be extremely limited so lessons will be arranged on a first come/first served basis.  Private lesson scholarships are also available to students who are interested and qualified.

Lessons are highly encouraged for all members of the orchestra.  Our focus with the Hebron Orchestra is individual progress combined with team achievement.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions about our private lesson program.

We’re looking forward to seeing you all at our events next week!  Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can help with anything.

Future Hawks Info!

Dear Future Hawks,

We are so excited to welcome you to Hebron next year! I get to enjoy teaching my favorite subject every day, but some of the benefits of music and orchestra are not so obvious. Many of our orchestra students reported enjoying orchestra for playing music with friends, our thrilling concerts, or incredible trips. These are great reasons to be in orchestra! Additionally there are a wealth of benefits from playing in orchestra that happen as we work together to learn the music and perform it for friends and family. Parents, you may be thinking ahead to their future even beyond high school. LISD’s vision is for all of our students to enjoy thriving, productive lives in a future they create. Music supports their ability to navigate the challenges of the future.

Many orchestra students participate in multiple school activities and challenging courses. Our orchestra members participate in football, volleyball, tennis, basketball, swim, theatre, choir, DECA, wrestling, and more. If you are anticipating a schedule conflict, our counselors are amazing at helping you find a way for you to still partcipate in orchestra. Please contact me or your counselor if you would like assistance with exploring your schedule options.

Concert Orchestra is recommended for ALL 9th graders, including advanced players. This class is designed to assist with the next level of high school. Concert Orchestra performs challenging music and has had several students selected to the All-Region High School Orchestras. If you are interested in auditioning for a higher level of orchestra, we will have an audition process beginning in April. If your student is selected to a higher level of orchestra, their school counselor will adjust their schedule.

Visit us at hebronorchestra.org for a special welcome video, and please contact us with any questions. We can’t wait for you to be a member of the Hebron Orchestra!
