The fourth grade band starts in the second semester and meets once a week. Students learn the basics of an instrument, in preparation for joining the 5th grade band next year.
Students begin this year by participating in recorder class. At the end of the first semester, students will be allowed to join the 4th grade band if they are interested. The band serves as a gateway to the 5th grade band, where students learn basic beginning musical concepts to be continued throughout their years in band.
Knowing that students only meet in band for once a week, students are encouraged to practice at home. Mr. Clark is available to stay after school by request. (Please give him at least a day notice).
Encouraging students at the beginning of their journey is very important, and that job is something we all must attribute to. Each and every person a student comes in contact with is a guide for them, be it for better or worse. We always want to guide our children and students to become the best they can be.
