We have changed our procedure for the weekly health screening. Please be sure to complete the sheet that was sent home with your child or print from below.  Each student must bring a copy to the door for entry to the building.

Health Form 
If your child has forgotten the Health Screening form and you receive a call, please copy and paste the link below to fill out online. This is only if your child arrives to school without the form; we prefer the hard copy.

Paul Effman Music

Dear Parents and Musicians,

As you may have heard, our band and violin lessons will be conducted 100% remotely this school year.
While I'll miss being with the kids in school, I'm looking forward to some of the advantages this style of teaching can offer:
1. Students will be able to learn in a completely safe environment.
2. Thirty-minute LIVE interactive ZOOM lessons with like grades and abilities.
Small groups will be “face to face” with me. Musicians will be comfortable and encouraged no matter what their experience level.
3. Easy to use brand new platform, complete with exclusive supplemental materials including tutorials, background songs, and method books all available at the click of a button. No more lost music!
4. Classes will NOT interfere with academic classes.
Our lessons will be scheduled afternoons and early evenings. I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible.
5. RISK FREE!--full refunds (including instrument rentals) are available within thirty days of the first lesson if your musician isn't happy with his or her progress. To sign up or for more info, please visit https://pemusic.com/join
*If you have a rental instrument from last year, and need to return it, you may leave it at the school office. New instruments (rental or purchase) will be delivered to the school or shipped directly to your hom
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.  Please follow this link for more information--                                                                                             https://vimeo.com/467509565
Thank you for your continued support of instrumental music!
Warmly,
Ilya Shteynman
