Welcome to the 2021-2022 School Year
My name is Sonia Takanikos and I am the music teacher at Winston Churchill Middle School. I would like to take this time to welcome all new and returning band families and give a brief overview of the music program (please click on the side tabs for specifics on each class). Creating a fun and exciting place for students to learn is priority of mine and I look forward to building on past successes, building relationships, and being creative on how we will create music on this educational platform.
All band and string students are expected to practice and record on their BAND or STRING instrument. If you need a school instrument, Churchill has a limited supply of instruments that can be checked out for the year. If you are interested in renting from a local instrument shops, some local shops are listed below.
New COVID Guidelines are being worked on and will be posted shortly.
If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to email. Thank you,
Sonia Takanikos

* Please do not purchase instruments from Costco, Amazon, Sam's Club, Walmart, or Target. Many of these instruments are very affordable but often times lead to a very frustrating experience because they often break easily. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
