Grade 5 Band Off to a Great Start

It has been an exciting few weeks in the fifth grade band class! During these early weeks, our fifth graders have taken the time to “get it right.” While students were eager to play their first notes, they spent time learning the musical alphabet, reading and counting rhythm patterns, and sitting with proper posture. They have also covered breathing methods, instrument care, proper embouchure (ask them if they can define that word!), instrument assembly, the basics of tone production, and much more. All details and materials will be posted on our Google classroom pages.
