MITCHELL STRINGS ENSEMBLE

Strings class meets at 8:45-9:15. Williams' class is on Monday, Graham's class is on Tuesday, and Waits' class is on Wednesday at 8:45. Students buy the book Essential Elements for Strings 2000. Be sure to specify for violin, viola, or cello.

Mitchell Beginner Strings is composed of fifth graders from Mitchell School. Students will receive information during the first week of school. Students need to check with Mrs. Reynolds first for the size of a violin that he/she will need based on the length of your arm. Some kids may play the viola or cello. Instruments are available that belong to Gadsden City Schools, but sometimes two students share one instrument. Students may also rent from Gadsden Music Company, or purchase one at Andy's Music at Southside. Don't forget to check with Mitchell alumni to see if an individual has an instrument for sale! Performances during the year are listed below

• Dec. - TBA
• May - Performance at Mitchell Awards Program
• May - Possible City-wide Strings Concert at GCHS
