"Meet the Instruments " Night - Free! Tuesday, May 5, 2009 - 7:00 pm in the Main Gallery
Does your child want to learn to play an instrument but isn't sure which one? Instead of blindly choosing, come and meet some of our private music instructors and have your child try out both band and orchestra instruments. In addition to a student's interest and curiosity, physical attributes come into play in making the right choice. If an instrument is correctly chosen, he/she will be a more successful and happy musician.

Your child will be able to select from flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, drum, violin, cello and piano and actually try the instruments. Representatives from Motter's Music will provide the instruments. Motter's Music is offering a 3-month FREE instrument rental when an agreement is signed during this special event (does not include pianos/keyboards)! FAA faculty and current students, along with the Motter's Music representatives, will be there to assist students and parents. Meet the Instruments Night is free to attend, but please call 440-951-7500 to let us know you are coming.
