General Music is open to all students interested in learning more about music in an interactive, positive, hands-on classroom setting. Units will cover the fundamentals of the families of musical instruments, the basics of music (pitch, rhythm, dynamics), and historical composers and their works. Students will be actively engaged in listening, analyzing, playing, improvising, and composing music.
Band is designed to help students develop their instrumental musical abilities they began to establish in Band during primary school or through private lessons. Students will participate in performances and band festivals during the year. Students are required to choose an instrument (woodwind, brass, or percussion) to play that must be rented or purchased prior to the first day of class. If you are new to Band, please speak with Miss Bean for instrument approval prior to renting or purchasing your instrument.
