Building Musicianship
All students participate in instrumental music, learning discipline, teamwork, and performance skills. In grade five, students are introduced to brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments—and are individually evaluated and recommended an instrument for study. Basic skills are emphasized in early training. In grades six and seven, boys apply those skills to concert band literature. Scales and chord studies take on a more serious and demanding role. By grade eight, they perform more complex music, with opportunities for blues and improvisation in the jazz band program.
