One of our funnest ways to learn music at Edison is to join the Orchestra! We are currently accepting students who are interested in learning a musical instrument. This is a fantastic way to learn to play with a group and perform at the end of the school year.

Instruction begins in October 2024 and runs through the entire school year, culminating in a Spring Concert in April 2025.
30- to 40-minute small group lessons will be held each Thursday after school between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Please keep this general time block free until we create the final schedule. This flexibility in scheduling will allow us to create classes best suited for the enrollment.
The final schedule and location of classes will be announced via email after enrollment is complete. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. To aid in your planning, note that beginning classes will be held earlier than intermediate and advanced level classes.
Once the schedule is available, please have your child’s schedule clear for their assigned 30 – 40 minute time block. Students waiting to take a later lesson may opt to go home with parents and then return to school at lesson time. Or, students can attend ‘Creative Kids’ or ‘Beyond the Bell’ before and after their scheduled class.
Kindergarten students must be picked up immediately following the conclusion of their class if not enrolled in Creative Kids.
