Fundamentals of performance in the wind and percussion instruments are the focus of daily instruction in our beginning band classes. Our goals include development of ear training, listening skills, playing skills (both individual and ensemble), tone production, technical mastery of the instrument, and musicianship. The band performs concerts, and the students participate in the Eanes Solo and Ensemble Festival. Students also have the option of rehearsing and performing for a special Spring band activity.
