If you are in fifth grade you will have the opportunity to select a band or stringed instrument to participate in the instrumental music program this year.

Ms. McUmber will be your music teacher for this class which will meet once per week for 45 minutes.   We will use this music survey to help us determine if you are a good candidate for the instrumental music program.  You can practice listening from home to be better prepared for the survey next week.

The link to the video “Intro to Instruments” is in the comment section below.

This is an excellent video demonstrating why an “A” is not enough.  An “A” can mean you are permitted one mistake on a test.  This concert band will demonstrate what that will sound like when each child makes one mistake.
