Ensembles

Beginner Band

Focus is placed on learning the fundamentals of music and attaining a basic set of skills on your instrument. This class meets daily and gives an introduction to the language, history, and basic theory of music. Beginning Band classes are made up of like-instruments to facilitate a more in-depth and instrument-specific instruction. Each student is required to practice daily. We strongly urge all students to work with a Band Personal Trainer.
