BEGINNING BAND and BEGINNING ORCHESTRA.

Many students enroll in the "Beginning Band" or "Beginning Orchestra" program without any prior experience on the instruments that they choose.  Throughout the year, the students learn proper technique, musicianship and music literacy as they explore their newfound talents.
