Pembroke Pines Charter West Middle School Band Program
|
Beginning BandBeginning Band is offered to 6th and 7th graders who want to learn how to play a wind (flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet,saxophone, trumpet, horn, trombone, baritone, tuba) or percussion instrument. No prior music experience is required to take band. Students will learn everything about their instrument and how to read and perform music. Students are also required to participate in 3-4 after school performances throughout the year.
Intermediate and Advanced BandIntermediate and Advanced Band classes are a continuation of Beginning Band. The focus changes from learning how to play an instrument, to learning more about music through the performance of more advanced literature. Advanced students are required to participate in solo assessments and are encouraged to perform in chamber groups. Students are also required to participate in 3-4 after school performances throughout the year. Sometimes Advanced Band students have additional performances , including Veteran’s Day and Concert Band Performance Assessment. Intermediate Band also participates in the Concert Band Performance Assessment. Students in these groups will have the opportunity to audition for All State Band and All County Band.
