Introductory Band 7 Course Description

Introductory Band 7 is a course designed to teach you the basic skills of instrumental ensemble music. Throughout the year you will play music in small and large groups through games, improvisation, and existing music literature. Through these activities you will use music to paint pictures, tell a story, create soundscapes, and communicate emotion. At-home practice is part of this course, and students will have the flexibility to practice at school or at home. This course will incorporate and cultivate respectful musicianship, lifelong learning, leadership, innovation, and it will also value student choice and input. Prerequisites: None

“Music enhances the education of our children by helping them to make connections and broadening the depth with which they think and feel. If we are to hope for a society of culturally literate people, music must be a vital part of our children’s education.” – Yo-Yo Ma
