Orff Ensemble students have the privilege of checking out glockenspiels for practice this year.  The glockenspiel is very small and will fit easily into a backpack. 

 

We do have a few rules associated with this opportunity.  Students may not play instruments on campus or on the school bus.  Teachers and bus drivers understand they can take an instrument from a student for any reason. 

Students will also have a rehearsal CD issued to them for practicing some of their music. 

                                               

These instruments are relatively inexpensive when compared to band instruments.  Even so, they cost around $25 not including shipping.  To make this equipment available for student use, parents and students must take responsibility for their care, just like materials from the library.  Parents will be responsible for paying for a replacement if the instrument, any bar, mallets, or CD is lost or damaged.  These instruments/CDs are not toys.  We strongly discourage allowing younger sibling’s access to this equipment.  While they are in your possession, they should be stored in a safe location, away from moisture and extreme temperatures. 

 

We must have the attached agreement signed by the parent before instruments can be loaned to students.  If you agree to accept this responsibility, please complete the attached contract accordingly and return it to Mrs. Bouton in the music room.

 

Thank you for your interest in your child’s musical progress.

I agree to accept responsibility for any instrument and/or CD that is borrowed from Graceville Elementary.  If the instrument, mallets, or CD is damaged or lost, I agree to pay for repair or a replacement.  I also understand that any instrument borrowed must be returned to the music room upon request or when student practice is completed.
