Hello and welcome to Woodrow Wilson’s Instrumental Music Program! This is my 5th year at Wilson, and I could not be happier to be teaching what I love. Please check out our webpage regularly for updates on the instrumental music program as well as our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/WoodrowWilsonInstrumentalMusic) for concert footage and pictures. Students of the instrumental music department learn the intricacies of playing an instrument as well as how to be a member of an ensemble. Students learn the importance of music literacy and are able to read, write and notate music along with a high level of performance. They work as a team to create mastery of their performance pieces and gain great friendships along the way. 
​From concerts to festival competitions to fun at Disneyland, being in the instrumental music department is a middle school experience not to be missed!
If you ever have questions or concerns about your child or anything else music related please feel free to contact me via e-mail at 
asvetich@gusd.net.
