6TH GRADE CONCERT BAND

Ms. Jenna DiMento, Band Director

6th Grade Band students will perform at least twice per year, with formal concerts in January and June. The fundamentals of reading and performing music will be reviewed and reinforced during rehearsals using a varied repertoire of music and supplemental material. Students will also become familiar with the composers, culture, music theory, and history as they relate to the repertoire being studied. Additionally, students will review how to take care of and maintain their instruments.


Students are expected to practice their instruments for at least 5 minutes every single day.
