BEGINNING BAND
The beginning band is made up of mostly students in their first year of playing. They perform at the winter and spring concerts. We also have a super fun spring trip if students meet certain criterion. We need as many beginners as possible to build and maintain our program. Beginners are divided into 5 beginning band classes: percussion, clarinets, flutes, trumpets, and trombones. In the second semester or second year they can branch out to many other instruments.
Fun - da - men - tals!
We work on the basics throughout 6th grade so we can hopefully kick our students off on the right foot. Unlearning a bad habit is harder than learning a good one.

But it's so much more!
Learning to play an instrument is just one thing we do in beginning band. We learn how to be better humans: responsible and respectful members of society who are all working toward a common goal.
