SCHOOL BAND & INSTRUMENT INFORMATION

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the program is to broaden the education of the child by giving him/her an experience in, and an understanding of music. Being in the band gives him/her the opportunity, as well as the feeling of accomplishment and participation, which is becoming such a rare but valuable part of life. The key is involvement. Music is a highly individual activity in which the student has to get personally involved. In addition, the cultural and character building advantages to be gained from early exposure to music and the mental and physical disciplines involved in learning to read and play music are of immeasurable value. Our purpose is to bring the experience of music to every child.

FORMAT
Students are taught in small classes which are scheduled according to instrument and degree of advancement. These classes meet once a week on a rotating schedule so that students do not miss the same subject each week. Each student has a band (i.e. beginner, prep, advanced) which rehearses once a week. Several concerts are performed by the band during the school year.
Instruments on which instruction is offered are: flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, and snare drum.
