What We Are Trying To Do For Our Musicians
Other than learning to play a musical instrument, our overall aim is emotional, intellectual, physical and social growth through music experiences. Therefore, we provide a band program that will teach your young musician:
1. To enjoy working with other students; demonstrate some leadership/mentoring.
2. To develop individual talents for social life at school, at home and in the community.
3. To know music through familiarity with specific compositions and styles.
4. To develop a desire to listen to quality music.
5. To experience the thrill of playing well for oneself, with others and for others, at a high level!
6. How to meet new people and develop new and lasting friendships, that will last beyond High School…well into Adult years.

Growth through music will be gained by learning to:
1. Concentrate on the job at hand; show what commitment & practice can achieve.
2. Play an instrument and successfully complete tasks in a classroom setting.
3. Prepare for the lessons and tests at home; without regular practice little improvements are not possible.
4. Listen to the playing of others (recordings, performances, classroom and rehearsals).
5. Develop a musical ear (ear training of pitch, rhythm and intervals).
6. Develop rhythmic and melodic feeling and accuracy; be precise.
7. Play in a large group (concentration, matching, timing and balance).
8. Play individually at home, at school, in rehearsal and in the community.
9. Accept constructive criticism by teacher, classmates and public.
10. Find intellectual, social, emotional and physical satisfaction through music activities.
