Please consider bringing your student to the Pullman High School music
department concert this Thursday, 12/10. It is at Gladish auditorium and
begins at 7:00 pm. This concert will feature the choirs, bands, and
orchestra. We will perform separately and together. Mayor Glenn Johnson
will make a special appearance and narrate "T'was the Night Before Christmas"
with the Orchestra and Band. The Orchestra and Choirs will also present
selections from Vivaldi's "Gloria." It should be a fun, festive evening,
hope to see you there.
Advanced students will receive new music this week. We will also begin
working on some new pages in our books.
Beginning students will be working out of their "Introduction to Artistry in
Strings" books again starting this week. Please be sure your child brings
his or her book to class, along with the music binder. We will be focusing
on reading music beginning this week.
Please explore the website and check back regularly as I often make updates.
