Description
Music / Grades 6 – 12 / Period 2 / RP / 1T-2T-3T
In this class students will continue to learn the basics of playing a band instrument (brass, percussion, or woodwind) and will improve their skills in reading and playing music in an ensemble. Students must have played a band instrument for at least one year (in band or private lessons). For any exceptions, please contact Mrs. Pinegar. This class will be graded only for those students in grades 9–12. The homework for this class will be to practice one’s instrument at least twenty minutes every day (M–F). Minimal homework may be given to reinforce music theory necessary for reading music. There will be periodic playing quizzes and tests on which the students will be graded.
Students must provide their own instrument and lesson book. The lesson book that will be used is Standard of Excellence Comprehensive Band Method, Book 2. Here is an example of the book you should order (please order the book appropriate for your instrument):
