5th-grade band will meet every Tuesday after school in the HPS Band Room (cafe space) for 6 weeks just to get them started with some fundamental skills and knowledge. We have middle school, high school, and college-level volunteers in addition to adult musicians. All of these people are a great resource and want to help your new musician learn the best techniques right off the bat.
The dates are: April 4, 11, 18, 25, May 2, 9 At these FREE rehearsals, your student needs to bring: - Instrument - Tradition of Excellence - Book 1 for their specific instrument Students do NOT need to bring: - Folding Stand - Entire Cleaning Kit (only the basics) HPS & RVS will also offer an optional summer band toward the end of the summer break, and then band will be part of their school day beginning in August. |
