MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOLS
Band Members

Students begin band lessons in the 5th grade. Some catch on quickly to the finger coordination, breath control and horn position. Others take some time. Eventually most of the students can play simple songs. The first songs are learned by rote. Then reading notation is added. In a relatively short amount of time, students are playing some recognizable tunes. They continue to progress, hopefully, during the 6th grade year. Then they hit Junior High. The new songs come flying at them at the speed of sound, and the number of performances goes from two per year to sometimes two per week. It can be overwhelming. Thank you students and parents for supporting the band program.
