PMA “INSTRUMENT PETTING ZOO”
It can be a challenge to choose a musical instrument that is the best fit for your child. PMA directors will assist you with this process by meeting with you and your child. Come to our Instrument Petting Zoo in MAY 29, JULY 10, or our final one on AUGUST 7, 2025. See, hear, and try various instruments, meet our PMA directors, and let us help you decide which musical instrument is the best fit! (You may register your child for classes prior to the Instrument Petting Zoo, just indicate “instrument unknown”.)
***** We highly recommend attending the MAY or JULY Zoo’s so you have time to acquire your child’s instrument and take advantage of a FREE help session…see below!
On July 24, 2025 Mrs. Maxwell will invite all registered beginning band students to visit her at WPC to get a head-start on how to assemble the instrument, hold it correctly, and make a first sound! (More information to come after July 10th.) Take advantage of this free session and feel more confident on your first day of class in August.
PERCUSSION: NEW students interested in playing PERCUSSION (i.e. snare drum, bells, bass drum, cymbals, etc.) are REQUIRED to attend an Instrument Petting Zoo in order to be considered to play this instrument. Students will be given a basic test to assess their ability to keep a steady beat as well as basic note reading within the staff in TREBLE clef.
(There are multiple free resources available to learn about and review basic note reading – Khan Academy, MusicTheory.net, Teoria, and of course YouTube!)
Visit the SIGNUP GENIUS to schedule an Instrument Petting Zoo appointment.
Private Lessons: (Strings, Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Ukulele, & all Band Instruments)
To secure a lesson spot for your child, you must first complete the online registration form and pay your annual family registration fee. A Signup Genius link will then be provided by the PMA Administrator to schedule your child’s lesson time.
