Instrumental Music -Band
These courses offer instruction
on a woodwind, brass or percussion instrument. Students will develop
musical literacy skills by using the creative and critical analysis processes
in composition, performance, and a range of reflective and analytical
activities. Students will develop an understanding of the conventions and
elements of music and of safe practices related to music, and will develop a
variety of skills transferable to other areas of their life.
**Students who are enrolled in an instrumental course are encouraged to also take the corresponding Music Repertoire course for their grade level.

Students will learn the art of guitar performance including learning to read music and performing popular songs using standard guitar chords. Student learning will include participating in creative activities and listening perceptively. Students will also be required to develop a thorough understanding of the language of music, including music theory, terminology, and history.

regular school day and will concentrate on the reading and performance of repertoire
for concert band or choir. Participation in the Concert
Band, Wind Ensemble or Denison Singers is a course requirement. Students interested in taking music repertoire are recommended to also choose the instrumental music course for their grade level.
