The Music/Band classes are open to students who desire to learn to play an offered instrument. Students will learn to play Woodwind (Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, etc.), Brass (Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, etc.), and Percussion (Drum set, Keyboard and Auxiliary Percussion, etc.) instruments. In all classes the student will receive guidance in techniques for producing proper tone, pitch, rhythm, posture, dynamics, and performance at different levels. Students will also learn to build self-esteem (achievement), cooperation (playing in an ensemble), and life skills (practice, study, commitment) through the discipline in learning to play an instrument.
