It's time to sign up for the 2008 Winter
Trimester! New members are welcome! The second trimester dates
are January 14 through March 20, 2008, culminating in the Solo

Hermosa Valley School is very excited to announce the second
trimester of our second year of our instrumental music program,
directed by Mr. Ken Harrison. The band program is tailored for
both first-time musicians, as well as more experienced players.
The Blue Band is aimed at beginners and intermediates in grades
4-5, and the Gold Band is for beginners and intermediates in
grades 6-8. Beginning musicians will learn how to play woodwind,
brass or percussion instruments, read and write music, and perform
in ensembles. More experienced players may continue with more
challenging music or learn a new instrument.
Hermosa Valley Band is dedicated to quality music
education, cultivating teamwork, individual responsibility, and
most of all, a fun and creative musical experience. Enrich your
child's life through music!
Cost Tuition is $200 per trimester, and there is a one
trimester commitment once registered. Make your check payable
to "Hermosa Beach Education Foundation" with "Instrumental
Music" in the memo section.
