Band at MBMA
Our Instrumental Music Program is an excellent place to introduce band instruments to elementary students. In addition to learning in a full-band setting, students will have weekly small-group coaching sessions with a specialist on their instrument. This smaller instructor-to-student ratio will give students more attention and more instrument specific teaching.
Beginning BandMonday & Thursday Rehearsals - 12:05-12:55PM
Grades 2-6 The Beginning Band is an introductory instrumental ensemble that takes the young music student through his/her first experiences on a new instrument. This year-long band class gives students the opportunity to learn a core woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument. Students may choose from: Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone/Euphonium, or Percussion. Students will work towards 3 concerts throughout the year to give them goals to strive for and new music to learn.
