DJUSD will continue offering intermediate grade students the following music classes in the 2019-20 school year:

• Beginning string lessons for 4th, 5th and 6th graders
• Beginning band lessons for 5th and 6th graders
• Continuing string lessons for all 4th, 5th, and 6th graders who have already had 1 year of private or school lessons and meet the standards for second-year students.
• Continuing band lessons are offered to 5th and 6th graders who meet the same criteria.

The DJUSD music teachers will hold daytime information/demonstration assemblies for students at their respective schools during the first two weeks of school. They will demonstrate different instruments, give information about the program, explain how to enroll and give your child packets to take home. Please watch for the packets and read them carefully.

To enroll your child in a BEGINNING class, you and your child must attend one of the following meetings.

Band Meetings at:

• Davis High School Auditorium, 315 W. 14th Street.
