Director's Corner
     We've made it to the end of another busy, successful year.  Congratulations to all our FOM scholarship winners and all our graduates.  Will will miss you!  Bravo to all our performers this spring.  As I write, there are only a few more performances left and they promise to be as excellent as all the other spring concerts I've attended.
     Course selection starts now at MHS and soon at FBMS.  Please consider continuing your participation in our enriching programs.  We're proud to offer a variety of experiences for all levels of interest.  Be sure to ask your child's music teacher about the best fit.
     I especially want to thank everyone for their help with our Mattress Fundraiser.  We raised over $10,000 for the FOM and over $2,000 for individual accounts.  That's over $20,000 and $4,000 over the past two years.  We've been using that money to pay piano accompanists system-wide, purchase sound equipment at use at FBMS and MHS, purchase band and string instruments at all three levels, clinicians for HS Jazz, and more.  Additionally, having this money has freed up budget money for more new music and needed school-owned instrument repairs.  We plan to do this fundraiser every Fall so spread the word and think of us when the need arises.
     I'd like to welcome our newest faculty member, Mika Genatossio who will teach music at MES and EWS. She'll also do the 5th grade chorus at EWS. We're excited to have her aboard! 
     Many thanks for all who made the MHS Music Trip to NYC such a success!
     I'd like to extend a warm welcome to Mark Berney who is doing private trumpet lessons for us on Mondays and Wednesdays now.  Welcome also to Sarah-Hadley Yakir who will be giving violin and viola lessons on Wednesday, we're excited to have her and her enthusiasm aboard.   It's never a bad time to sign up for (or get back into) private lessons! If you want private lessons for your child (all levels), fill out a lesson form and get it to me. 
     Our department is as busy as ever at all levels. Events are now posted for this coming year. Please check the Calendar page for updated information on all Music Dept. events. Please contact me if you need anything. 
​- Mr. David Kaminski, Coordinator of Music, MPSD
