Announcements
HAPPY SUMMER VACATION! Enjoy your time with your family. We will be returning in early Sept.

Mr. Bauer and Ms. Alonzo - Our 2 string coaches met here at Newhart about 6 years ago. They started dating about 2 years ago and just got married on June 13th. Click here to see their wedding. This will only work until Aug. 13. We're so happy for the 2 of them! :)

Summer Music Ideas - There are plenty of fun opportunities available this summer. Start planning now. The stay away camps are for a week in the local mountains which involve lots of music and lots of outdoors. The local day camps are taught by a few really good CUSD teachers. Las Flores is hosting an orchestra and Ladera is having both a band and orchestra camp.

Song recordings - Want to hear song recordings from the actual music we are playing in our class? Click on "Song Recordings" found in the far right column on this page next to the dancing music note.
