Instrumental Music/Band

District Overview
The study of music involves singing and performing on instruments, alone and with others. Third grade general music offers a beginning
instrumental experience on the recorder coupled with a performance opportunity. Instrumental music lessons are offered to students in grades
4-12 on band instruments – flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, baritone, trombone, tuba, snare drum and mallet
percussion. Lessons focus on the task of performance of music grounded in the 7 elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, form, tempo, dynamics
and timbre. Performances of a varied repertoire are designed to reflect the interests and abilities of all students.
Grade 5 Description
Instrumental Music/Band Grade 5 is a continuation of the skills in the 7 elements of music learned in Instrumental Music/Band Grade 5.
Interested students continue to focus on improvement and mastery of skills in tone production, note reading and rhythm. Solo and group
performance opportunities are offered this year. Band rehearsals focus on physical skills, aural skills, reading and comprehension, and evaluation
of self and ensemble.
