sixth grade band
6th grade takes band to the next level. We meet two days out of the six day cycles. There are more performances, harder rhythms, more notes, and it makes for an overall exciting challenge! We finish out the method books in lessons and then pick individual solos. Towards the end of the year they choose their own music to play and work in small ensembles.
