Want to help the music program directly by donating needed equpiment and materials?
The
National Teacher Registry is a free service for schools and teachers that enables
them to create a list of the items they need for their classrooms. Conceptually it is
similar to a wedding or baby shower registry.
With
the National Teacher Registry, parents and others can find a teacher's registry, purchase items from the list, and have the items
delivered to the classroom.

Please remember, you
are in control of keeping music and the arts in our schools, let your
support of music education be known. Talk to your students administrators and
tell them the arts are important to your child’s education.
Contact your school board representatives @ (http://www.lyon.k12.nv.us/html/members.html).
Call or write to your Nevada legislators and
express that you want them to support and fight for continued funding
of music and the arts as a part your child’s complete education.
Please feel free to use this as your your letter, or write your own if you wish.
The new school year is in full swing, it's time to keep up those music “chops” and begin
developing them for band. As director of bands at YHS I have been
teaching private lessons on band instruments for over 15 years and would love
to continue this year. If you or your band student want to work a little just
to keep fresh, hope to develop a hidden talent or get ahead in band this fall, please contact me to set up some one on one private lessons or
get together with some others for group lessons. The end goal is to
keep music at Yerington going strong and make sure it continues to have a
strong presence in our community
Musically yours,
