2x/week, full year

Student-musicians will grow in musicianship on their instruments while learning about music through performance in band. Students participate in individual and group performances on a daily basis. In-school, small-group lessons will be provided year-long for all 5th and 6th grade instrumentalists. With elements of music theory and history incorporated throughout the year, students will discover that the music they are actively participating in is an essential, interwoven element to humanity. 

 Course Goals: “Students will”

        
Accurately perform a varied repertoire of compositions displaying instrumental skill
        
Develop music literacy through 20 minutes of concentrated, daily at-home practice
        
Listening to, analyze and describe music and musical performances
        
Learn to perform in an ensemble setting: Pulse, Cues, Balance & Blend, and Intonation
        
Study the relationship between the music we rehearse and its cultural & historical context
        
Draw connections between the music we rehearse and other disciplines outside of music
