What happens in band rehearsals and lessons?

Students study a variety of wind literature to build and refine musical concepts and techniques and develop an understanding of the music of diverse cultures, historical time periods, and prominent composers. Weekly lessons are also an integral part of our program. This critical time is used to build techniques specific to the instrument and work on rhythmic skills, tone quality, and fundamentals.
