Orchestra - children's music workshop - Larry Newman
Topanga Elementary School Music Program
The 2021 – 2022 Topanga After School Music Program is open to all students in grades one through five.
The program is directed by Larry Newman and classes are taught by the music specialists of Children’s Music Workshop.
Instrument Choices
Instruction is provided every Thursday that school is in session from September 30, 2021 through the school year, culminating with a school concert on Thursday, May 5, 2022.
Small group classes will be scheduled every 30 – 40 minutes on Thursdays after school from 1:45 – 4:00 PM.
Please have your child’s schedule clear for a 30 – 40 minute lesson during this time block. (First grade students will be scheduled immediately after dismissal.)
The exact schedule will be determined when enrollment is complete. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
For students waiting to take their lesson, the LAUSD Youth Services Program provides free, supervised after school care on the upper playground from dismissal time each day until 6 P.M. This option is available for students in grades 2 through 5. STAR also runs a paid after school child-care program.
The final schedule of classes will be emailed to all applicants a few days prior to the first day of class.
Program Costs
A fee of $650 is requested to cover the entire 2021-2022 school year.
This fee covers not only instructional costs but all music, books and basic supplies which your child is given throughout the year. The only other expense will be the lease, rental or purchase of the instrument. Instruments are available at special discounted prices for participating music students through our instrument supplier, The Instrument Place. For drums and piano, amazon is a great resource and here are some options.
Get all the details and order an instrument when you register for the class.
Free Music Tuition and Instrument Rental
A parent volunteer is needed to assist with administrative logistics on music day. If you are available every Thursday from 1:45 – 3:30 PM to help, please email Mr. Newman. Parent volunteers receive a full tuition waiver and free instrument rental.
