A new Middle School Music Clinic is now part of the lineup for the Jan. 18 Children’s Music Day at McHenry Community High School.
Hosted by the school’s Tri-M Music Honor Society Chapter 139, the now daylong event is meant to inspire young musicians by having high school students teach them different aspects of making music.
Children’s Music Day is from 9 a.m. to noon and is open to any child in kindergarten through fifth grade. The Middle School Clinic is scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m. and open to students in grades six, seven and eight.
Both events will be held in the Auditorium at Upper Campus, 4724 W. Crystal Lake Road. Space is limited so registration is required. Both have a cost of $5 per student.
