Course Overview
Beginning Band is a course for band students with one year or less of experience
on a band instrument. In this course, we will continue student progression towards
proficiency on their instruments through the use of band method books, sheet music,
and other supplemental materials. Since this is a performance-based course, we will
have a few concerts and performances that are required for students so that they can
demonstrate what they have learned. We are happy to welcome all proficient
student performers to our band!
