Hi there!  My name is Mr. Karlan, and I am the orchestra director at Middlesex school.  I look forward to meeting our new 6th-grade members and welcoming back our returning students this week.  If you are new to the orchestra, please take a moment to explore this site, and let me know if you have any questions.  I can always be reached at MKarlan@darienps.org.

See you soon!

Mr. Karlan
