• Chesterfield Elementary School Band

    Dear Chesterfield Families,

    Hello! My name is Ms. Sophia Isnardi, and I am the band director and upper-elementary music teacher here at Chesterfield Elementary School. I am thrilled to begin instrumental music for students in grades four, five, and six for the 2024-2025 school year! Chesterfield has a longstanding tradition of providing instrumental music and band instruction for over forty years, and I am delighted to be a part of continuing this musical legacy at our school.

    This voluntary program is offered to any child in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade.  Those students are eligible to participate in instrumental music during the 2024-2025 school year.  Lessons are FREE and will be offered once a week, during in-person and small group lessons in the school day.  Children will be grouped with other students of the same ability (1st year/ 2nd year/ 3rd year), who play the same instrument.  

    Chesterfield Elementary School offers instrumental instruction on flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and percussion (snare drum and bells).  The Chesterfield band program is consistent with the programs offered throughout Northern Burlington Middle and High Schools.

    Students have the option to rent their instrument during the school year through Music & Arts (www.musicarts.com). If you already have an instrument in the family, or you would like to purchase an instrument, please contact me so I can check that that instrument will provide the best musical experience for your child.

    As part of the band, your child has the opportunity to perform on their instrument throughout the school year. Each year, our fourth grade band students perform for classes in our school for winter caroling and an end-of-year band concert.  Students who are in 5th and 6th grade band will perform in a mid-winter concert and for the Family Arts Night in the spring.

    I hope that your child will enjoy being part of the band this year!  Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
