Students in the Genesis Band program are usually beginners to a Band instrument or graduates of the Band Basics program. Students who have started focused instrumental music lessons on a chosen band instrument for a short period of time would also suit the Genesis Band.
Genesis musicians engage in fundamental learning on a specific instrument - like Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, or Euphonium - with the opportunity to transition to instruments like Oboe, Saxophone, Bass Clarinet, Tuba, and Percussion in the second term.
