6th Grade Band
6th Grade is the beginning of our Band Program here at Eastbrook. Students in the 6th grade band will learn the basics of music while learning how to play an instrument and work together as an ensemble! The 6th grade band performs at four concerts each year, one each quarter.
Class Information:
Students should be practicing out of their music book at home 2-3 days each week (15-20 minutes at a time).
Clarinet and Alto Sax Players: Reed players need to have at least 2 'working' reeds at all times. Reeds have to be replaced every month or so depending on how much they are played. Mr. Wamhoff offers these for sale at each band class if needed.
Alto Reeds are $2.50/each and Clarinet Reeds are $2.00/each
Brass Players: Make sure to oil/grease all valves 2-3 times each week when playing to take care of your instrument and keep it in proper playing condition. Mr. Wamhoff offers these for sale at each band class if needed.
Valve Oil (trumpet and baritone only) - $2.00
Slide Grease (all brass instruments) - $2.00
Slide Cream (trombone only) - $3.00
