 Course ID

The sixth grade concert band is for students with little or no band experience to develop fundamental musical skills. At the beginning of the year, students are introduced to the various instruments of the concert band and encouraged to try several. With the instructor’s guidance, each student selects an instrument to learn. If a student has extensive prior experience on an instrument, he or she might be encouraged to try something new.

Once regular classes begin, students first meet with like instruments on alternating days until the group has advanced to the point of all being able to work together. As individual practice is a must for sufficient progress, students take instruments home or arrange to practice at the school for 70 minutes each week.

All Beginning Concert Band members perform in concerts as set in the school calendar each year
