Music is such an important aspect of every child’s intellectual 
development.  
Our goal is to help supplement and expand their experiences.

Interested 5th - 8th grade students proficient on an instrument are welcome 
to join the Band or Orchestra Program.  Choir is open to members starting in 
4th grade.  We have qualified directors assisting children to achieve their 
best in these musical groups.

All instrumentalist's are highly encouraged to be enrolled in instrument 
lessons from professional teachers in school or at one of the many stores.

In-school band and orchestra instrument lessons are offered to 5th – 8th 
grade members first and will start after Labor Day.  Any 4th - 8th beginner 
that would like to take lessons in school will be given that opportunity 
providing their intentions are to become a member when proficiency on their 
instrument is reached. Beginner lessons start mid-October. At this time,
we are not teaching lessons on piano, guitar or drums.

At this time, St. Albert the Great school kindly provides the space for in 
school lessons.  All lessons taught during school hours are arranged through 
the individual professional teachers and lesson payments are paid directly 
to 
the individual teacher. These teachers are not part of the school staff.  
Therefore, correspondence regarding lessons is to be forwarded directly to 
the teacher giving lessons.  Any other questions may be directed to Music 
Patrons through the school office.

On occasion, Music Patrons will have instruments available to rent.  The 
yearly rental fee through Music Patrons is $100.00. This gives parents an 
inexpensive way for their child to give a one year commitment on an 
instrument.  Parents have a choice of having their child take lessons in 
school (when available) or through a music store even though the instrument 
is rented through Music Patrons.  Please let us know if you’d like to 
explore 
this option.  Rental is based on a first come first served basis.

Music Patrons has only one ongoing fundraiser to provide these musical 
avenues which includes the school’s general Music Classes.  “Market Day” is 
our main support system whereby we are able to purchase many different types 
of instruments, equipment and supplies for our childrens' benefit.

Finally, are the member fees.   The fee for Band and/or Orchestra 
members 
is $30.00 per family per year.  Choir members are asked to pay $10.00 
per family if they are not in Band or Orchestra.  St. Albert the Great Music 
Patrons still provides all services at the lowest rate in the area.

Market Day along with the yearly Music Patron fees, helps us provide:

•	uniform vests and patches
•	dinner for students during our combined concerts
•	continental breakfast for the choir
•	solo contest fees for our participants
•	instrument tuning and repairs
•	funds to purchase medals and trophies 
•	year end concert/awards banquet 
•	instruments 
•	sheet music, videos, and DVD’s
•	annual gifts for directors
•	student incentives

We are also excited to continue providing scholarships to deserving 8th 
graders which helps support their study of music in high school.

It will take team effort to make our Music Program the best it can be.  We 
encourage your participation.

If you have any questions regarding the St. Albert the Great Music Program, 
please contact Skip Szalek at 440/582/1005 (home) or e-mail at
