Beginning Band is an opportunity for students to learn how to play an instrument. Students receive "like instrument" lessons during the school day. For example, the flute players have lessons with other flutists who are learning to play the flute, the trumpet players have lessons with other trumpet players who are learning to play the trumpet, etc. In addition to the weekly "like instrument" lessons, students participate in once weekly rehearsals which take place on Tuesday mornings from 8:15 am to 9:00 am. During weekly rehearsals students learn important concepts such as intonation (playing in tune), balance and blend, and other important musical skills, theory and history. Plus they have lots of fun playing and learning together!
