Beginner Band

Picture
As your child embarks on this endeavor, it is imperative that you and your child understand what to expect. Most of our beginners haven never played an instrument! This is probably the first time since kindergarten that your child has had to learn something new, without any prior knowledge. These students, in particular, will need lots of support and encouragement at school and at home.
PURPOSE: The Beginner Band is divided into specialized classes for the purpose of teaching the basic fundamentals of playing a band instrument. Students will complete objectives to demonstrate good tone production, technical skills, musical expression, and music theory. Three concerts are scheduled during the year and are announced at the beginning of the year. All beginner band students will have the opportunity to participate in the Solo and Ensemble Contests in the Spring semester, provided they have met the academic eligibility requirements. All students will also have the opportunity to attend a Festival Full Band Contest in the spring provided they have:
  • met the academic eligibility requirements;
  • successfully passed all the required objectives by a designated deadline;
  • attended all required rehearsals; and 
  • maintained a positive attitude throughout the school year.
