Bösendorfer Grand Piano

The music department would like to invite the JFKS community to a wonderful event. On Tuesday, June 23 at 19.00 in the large Aula, we will officially welcome our newly acquired Bösendorfer Grand Piano. This instrument is a fantastic addition to our Aula, to our music department and to JFKS. The evening´s program will feature JFKS students, teachers, alumni and parents and showcase the instrument in its solo and accompanying capacities.

The piano was purchased from Frau Ingrid Flindell, widow of Edwin Frederick Flindell (1926-2014), an American who spent most of his professional career teaching music at the Evangelisches Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster in Berlin. In addition to several stints at American universities, he was published arranger of choral works and writer of music books and articles. To find out more about Dr. Flindell and the Bösendorfer, please join us at this exciting recital.

Parents of 4th Graders – Mark your calendars for this very important event.
5th Graders at the John F. Kennedy School have a number of choices in music and elective courses. Parents and students are sometimes bewildered by all of the options when faced with them all at once during the first week of school.
The music department is offering an orientation to the numerous music offerings available to 5th graders for the 2015-16 school year. On the evening of Thursday, June 18, the music teachers will present the choices to current 4th graders and their parents.

Topics we will address at the orientation meeting include:

• An overview of music offerings for 5th graders – general, instrumental and choral music
• A chance to meet the teacher of each 5th grade music course or activity
• An introduction to 5th grade instrumental music program
• A chance to play some of the instruments 5th graders can learn to play in our schoolʼs beginning instrument program – clarinet, trumpet, trombone, violin, cello and more
• Opportunities to pre register for music courses or activities for the upcoming year
