All students in grades 1 through 5 need a 1-subject notebook for Music class. This notebook will stay with them throughout their time at South Greenville. Mrs. Peo keeps the notebooks over the summer each year, and returns them to the fifth graders on Graduation Day.
Students who brought a notebook to school as first graders do not need to purchase a new notebook each year.
Only students enrolling at South Greenville for the first time need to purchase a notebook.

As fourth graders, students must choose to be in either General Music with Mrs. Peo or Orchestra with Mrs. Pittman.
Mrs. Pittman speaks to all fourth grade classes the first week of school to explain the process of joining the Orchestra. She sends notes home to parents informing them of their children's options, at which time parents must indicate whether their children will be participating in Orchestra. The following week of school, Mrs. Pittman measures each child to determine the size of the instrument needed. Instruments may be rented or purchased from local retailers. Mrs. Pittman provides this information. Several school instruments are available on a first-come-first serve basis for students with great interest who could not otherwise afford to develop their talents and musical skills on the violin or other stringed instrument.
Parents need to make arrangements for their children's instruments by the third week of school in order for them to participate in Orchestra.
Students who elect to remain in General Music classes with Mrs. Peo are asked to order a recorder by the third week of school.
The cost of a one-piece Baroque-fingering recorder and song book is approximately $7.00. Mrs. Peo asks that students order the same instruments through the school so that all recorders produce the same tone quality and intonation when played together.
This year, some of the recorder students performed for our school and PTA Holiday Concert.
 

If you have any questions about the SGE Music program,
please contact Mrs. Peo or Mrs. Pittman at South Greenville or e-mail us at our Groupwise addresses found on the Staff page of the website.

This year, General Music classes were held in mobile unit 2 just outside of the 3rd and 4th grade wing.
Orchestra rehearsals are on the cafeteria stage twice weekly.

Thanks go to Mrs. Lynch for decorating the stage for our performances!
