Simply Music is a breakthrough Australian developed piano method which has received awards for Music Curriculum from Homeschooling Parent Magazine, Practical Homeschooling Magazine, and The Old Schoolhouse Magazine.  
The students learn to play the piano easily, quickly, and naturally.

"I have seen a lot of Music programs over the years.  Some were fun.  Some were clever.  Some were thorough.  Here's one that has it all.  
In terms of presentation, effectiveness, philosophy—you name it—there's nothing out there that compares at all."      
—Mary Pride, Publisher, Practical Homeschool Magazine

There will be a free introductory session to learn more about this amazing method and enroll for the class.  
Please RSVP with the number of people attending for the introductory session so I can be sure there are enough seats for everyone.

     Date: Wednesday, August 24th
     Time: 2-3pm
     Location: Netherwood Park Church of Christ
                  (NW corner of San Mateo and Indian School)

The 2011-2012 discounted home school class will be held at 2pm on Wednesdays at Netherwood Park Church of Christ starting September 7th for students ages 6 and up.  
There is additional family discounts for multiple enrollments from the same family.  
Parents are welcomed and encouraged to enroll with their children.  
Additional discounted classes may be added depending on enrollment and age distribution of the students.  

Arrangements can be made for private and group lessons or workshops at the regular price in my home near Tramway and I-40.  
Special needs students are welcomed and accepted on a case by case basis as private students.

If you would like to find out more about Simply Music but cannot make it on August 24th, or would like to enroll your student, please feel free to contact me.
Looking forward to a great school year and hope to see you on August 24th,

Dear Homeschool Families,

The Mid-Rio Grande Homeschool Band is preparing for our 24th year of great music education and we want you to be a part of the excitement.  

On Friday, August 12 from 1-3:00, we are having our annual open house and registration day.
We will meet at Netherwood Park Church of Christ (NW corner of San Mateo and Indian School) to answer questions, try out instruments, meet me and several of our students.  

Plus, our first ever Jazz Camp is happening this week and the students will be performing twice during the open house.  
So come find out more about us and listen to some talented homeschool kids play some great jazz music.

If you are not interested in the band, but you know someone who is, please forward this information along.  
It is my goal to provide a quality music education to as many homeschool students as I can, but that can only happen if they know about our group.

If you can't make it Friday but have other questions about the band, please feel free to contact me anytime.  
We start classes the week of August 22 so now is the time to find out more.

In Harmony,
Mr. Brad Bratcher
