BAND- In Band we will explore and learn to play three different families of instruments. These families include: Brass instruments like trumpet and trombone, Woodwind instruments like flute, clarinet and saxophone, as well as Percussion instruments like drums, cymbals, xylophone, bells, and many others. Once you find the perfect instrument for you, we will have a bunch of opportunities to express ourselves and perform music together everyday in class and outside of class.
