Open House/Orientation

On September 5th, Orientation for parents will be held at our normal location (8602 Bridgeport Way SW, Lakewood) at 11am. This is for both registered families and interested prospective families. If you have not yet decided about enrollment, this is the perfect time to get your questions answered and meet the teachers.

Class Placement/Meet the Teacher: While parents are attending orientation, our teachers will be offering mini classes for the students. (During mini-classes, teachers can make placement decisions for any students who are unsure of their correct placement level. *Please note this is not a formal audition. Placement decisions will be based on group playing and sight reading in the class setting. Students wanting to enroll in Band 2 should have their instruments with them.)

Open House/Meet and Greet: From 12-1pm there will be informal time to meet the teachers and ask questions of teachers and the board. There will also be a representative of Ted Brown music present to allow students to try out different instruments and reserve rentals.
