Please look at our Announcements page for important reminders and due dates.
What is the point of being in Mrs. Stevens' Band Class?
Is it to learn an instrument and have fun?
....Sort of...
(but trust me, we do have a lot of fun AND learn our instruments too)
Well what is it all about then?
An opportunity to learn many skills using an instrument as a medium to learn these life skills.
A way to understand that failure will happen and it is OKAY! Take a mistake or failure and turn it into an opportunity for success!
Find how good success feels and crave that feeling over and over again (your effort=successful feeling of reward!)
Hard work will always trump natural talent. For every ounce of effort you put in, you get so much MORE out of class than those who are "naturally good at their instrument." You learn more, retain more, and are more successful (within band class and in LIFE).
Everyone is important. NO ONE IS ON THE BENCH in band. You matter and are part of our band family and are very much needed/relied upon.
Gain independence and skills to help you conquer difficulties on your own.
