Interested in joinoing RGMS Band? you have come to the right place!
After reading the information below, continue scrolling to learn more about the instruments and watch some demonstrations as well. You can also email me with the form at the bottom of the page to ask me any questions you may have or let me know that you are interested.
Let me give you a little information on what the Band is about and what you can expect when you do join.
Let me be very clear that you DON'T NEED ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE!!!! In fact, most of the students who join are brand new to learning a musical instrument. Which is awesome because that means I get to teach you EVERYTHING you need to know.
So, now a little bit about the instruments. In Band, you have Wind and Percussion instruments.
The starter instruments include Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, and Tuba.
Percussion does NOT count as a starter instrument. Initially you pick a wind instrument listed above, then you have the option of auditioning to play percussion starting in the second semester. Based on the size of the group, I will determine how many students get to play percussion.
You do not need to know what instrument you want to play when joining. That is a decision we make together within the first few weeks of school.
You will be absolutely amazed at how much you can learn in just one year of playing an instrument. Not to mention that playing a musical instrument has been PROVEN to improve many parts of your academic careers.
My main goal as a music educator is to make YOU a self sufficient musician who can express themselves through music and loves to play your instrument!
