Goals & Objectives:

• Continue learning to play and practice a band instrument individually, building on concepts learned in 5th grade
• Continue learning use of good sound, rhythm, tempo (speed), and notes
• Reinforce proper instrument care
• Continue learning to play and rehearse with other students, in small and large groups
• Continue learning to perform for an audience, individually and in small groups

Schedule:

• Band Lessons run on a rotation - 6th period - A,B, C, E, or F
• Band students come to band lessons instead of general music
• Every rotation day D will be FULL Band with all students together
• Band students should plan ahead for their lesson and full band days and be sure they have their instrument, music and supplies at school on those days

Grading
