In Beginning Band, the focus is "How do I make the instrument work?" In Advanced Band, the focus shifts to "How do we make music?"
Welcome back! By now, you know the drill. How to assemble your instrument, read rhythms, and how our classroom runs.
Because you have those fundamentals down, this year looks a little different. We stop focusing so much about mechanics (what buttons to push) and start focusing on musicianship (how to make it mean something). We will be diving into more complex literature, tackling music that challenges us to think critically, and expanding our abilities to play as one unified ensemble.
