[quote=Anonymous]I feel like this teacher has had experiences where students are coming in and out of class on instrumental music day and dislikes the interruption. But it is kind of strange to be so public about it. One thing to give a warning that instrumental music students will still be responsible for the work that they miss during their lesson, and to take that into consideration when deciding whether or not to sign up. But actively discouraging it is... odd. I *loved* band, starting as a 4th grader in MCPS and playing all the way through college, and then in community theatre pit orchestras. So much fun and I'm so glad my parents signed me up to at least try it.

My 7th grader tried it for a year and didn't really dig it, but my current 4th grader is very excited. I'm encouraging all my kids to at least try it out. I'm a teacher, not in the upper grades though, but I have not heard any negativity from staff regarding the instrumental music program. It seems to be something we encourage students to try, not actively talk poorly about.[/quote]
