Beginner and Advanced Band and Strings Program Outline (attached document with rehearsal dates and registration form)
Band (grades 4-8) will meet on Fridays after school on the stage. New students will learn how to play instruments and experienced students continue to improve techniques for band instruments (flute, clarinet, saxophone, trombone, tuba, French horn, bassoon, oboe, percussion) and learn a diverse repertoire playing together as a school band.
Strings will meet on Fridays after school at the Library. This program gives students in elementary (grades 2-5) and middle school (grades 6-8) an opportunity to learn and improve their individual musical skills and ensemble skills while enjoying great quality time making music together with school friends. Students develop a sense of artistry, musicianship, and discipline through musical preparation and performance. Students in the strings program will show their acquired musical skills in their instruments at the Winter and Spring Concerts as well as the opportunity to represent the school off campus.
In addition we offer individual lessons for all band and string instruments including piano and voice after school. For schedule and rates please email me at:
