Welcome to the Department of Music Page. Here you will find information about upcoming events, news and updates. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our staff information is listed to the right.
Dear Parents and Students,
Last night you heard the disappointing news that our ensembles, Band, Chorus and Orchestra, will not be meeting during the HMS hybrid school day. While we are disappointed, we understand that this is being done out of an abundance of caution to make sure the students, faculty and staff remain as safe as possible this school year.
With that said, the music department is working on a virtual ensemble program for our students. We will have more information available to you in the next two weeks. I can say that HCAM is very excited to help us put this program together so we can offer some virtual performances available to the community throughout the school year.
The HMA will also be offering the Private Lesson Program remotely again this year. The lesson program was very successful when we switched to remote in the spring and our private teachers are very eager to continue. Information about the program is attached below.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at chay@hopkinton.k12.ma.us.
Sincerely,
Craig Hay, M.Ed.
K-12 Music Subject Matter Leader
Hopkinton Music Association Private Lesson Program 2020-2021
