About the Elementary Band Program |
|
In September, all students in
the 4th and 5th grade get to choose an instrument (or
continue) to play with the band. Students receive
lessons once a week with students who play the same or
similar instruments. At the end of the year,
students from all 6 elementary schools come together to
perform a concert.
The instruments that we currently offer lessons on are
Flute, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Trumpet,
Trombone, Baritone and Percussion (drums/bells).
The book we use for class is called "Standard of Excellence" (red book) and can be purchased at Music and Arts. Baritone players should purchase the Bass Clef (B.C.) version of the book. |

Student Requirements |
|
Students are
expected to do the following:
1. Bring their instrument and music to school every week for
lessons (Mondays or Wednesdays, depending on the group)
2. Students must practice for 15 minutes a day
or
weekly equivalent of 105 minutes
3. Students are responsible for having the necessary supplies
for their instrument to work as well as cleaning supplies. For example,
clarinets and saxophones need reeds for their instruments to work.
Trumpets and baritones need valve oil, and trombones need slide grease.
All students should have their own cleaning supplies for their
instrument. If your child needs any of these supplies, I am able to
order them from
Music and Arts for you.
