Fourth Grader Asma Mused was selected to play the recorder onstage with the Dearborn Symphony Orchestra for the 2015 Children’s Concert! All of the Fourth Grade students from every Elementary School in Dearborn were invited to attend. Asma (and her parents) also attended an evening rehearsal with the Symphony to prepare for this awesome event at the Michael Guido Theater in the Community and Performing Arts Center. What an honor! We are all so proud of you Asma!

All 4th grade students will learn to play the recorder this year. Isn’t it exciting? We do have used recorders student use, but you can also purchase your own from any music store. We use the YAMAHA brand and can be found at music stores such as:

Some music stores give Dearborn students a discount so let them know you are from Miller Elementary.
All 5th grade students will have the opportunity to learn a band or orchestral instrument this year! Our Instrumental Music teacher is Mr. Greg Gozzard. He is nice, funny and a great teacher! If you had the chance to hear the 5th grade orchestra and band last year you will already know the great fun that awaits you! Mr. Gozzard will be coming to talk to you very soon. Those who are interested are encouraged to sign up right away so you can shine by concert time! I can’t wait to hear your first instrumental concert!
Soooooooo, let’s get ready to have a GREAT school year!
