INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC: TRANSITIONS CONCERT BAND 11 AND 12 (MMUCB11---TR/MMUCB12---TR) Any student in Grade 10-12 who is interested in playing a band instrument is welcome to take this course. Although previous band experience is recommended (e.g. playing in at least one year of band), it is not required. The group plays a broad genre of music from traditional concert band music and jazz, to pop and movie-theme music. Students will also learn proper playing technique and posture, tone development, music literacy, ear training, teamwork and performance etiquette. This group performs at concerts at the school, within the district and will travel with the other ensembles in the music program. Students will be evaluated based on individual musicality, playing test, rehearsal participation, and performance attendance.
