BAND PROGRAM
Students in grades K-8 are offered the opportunity to take piano lessons. Lessons are given weekly on Wednesdays. Mr. Albertson works with your child's teacher to develop a schedule that best fits in to the child's school day.
Students in grades 4 - 8 are welcome to begin instruction on the following instruments:
Flute
Trumpet
Clarinet
Trombone
Alto Saxophone
Baritone
French horn
Percussion (bell kit; also called orchestral kit)
If scheduling allows, other instruments (i.e. tenor saxophone, bass clarinet, oboe, tuba) may be available to students with a year or more instruction under their belt.
For first and second year students, groups of like-instruments (all beginner flutes, etc.) meet once a week on a rotating pull-out schedule. This means the student will miss the same class only once every six weeks. Students with three years or more experience will meet as a full band once a week with individual sections meeting every few weeks as scheduled.
