Instrument lessons and rehearsals

Lessons:

  • Lessons are provided at the school at no cost.

  • Students will be placed in small instructional groups.

  • Lessons are 30 minutes once per 6 day cycle

    • Same time, same cycle day

  • Students do not miss specials, lunch, or recess!






Band & Orchestra Rehearsals:

  • Rehearsals occur during "Bear Time". This is a flex time that happens everyday for students.

    • 5th grade band and orchestra rehearses on cycle days 3 & 6

    • 4th grade band and orchestra rehearses on cycle days 2 & 5

Rehearsals are where students take their individual talents and bring them together to create beautiful music! This is the ultimate goal for every beginning instrumentalist!

Instrument Karate:

Throughout the course of their music instruction at Bear Creek, students have the opportunity to earn karate belts as they reach milestones in their book! The ultimate goal is to earn your Black Belt and become an Instrument Karate Master!

Once a 4th grade beginning student earns their yellow belt, they will be invited to band/orchestra rehearsals.
