Forest Dale Elementary School – ADVANCED CONCERT BAND (L)

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Woodwind, Brass, and Percussion students enrolled in this course are provided with a balanced and comprehensive study of music through the concert band. Ensemble and solo activities are designed to develop advanced musicianship skills in every student. Experiences include, but are not limited to, improvising, conducting, playing by ear, and sight-reading. Students also have opportunities to experience live performances by professionals during and outside of the school day. Time outside of the school day may be scheduled for dress rehearsals and performances. A limited number of public performances may serve as a culmination of daily rehearsal and musical goals. Students are required to participate in performance opportunities, outside of the school day, that support and extend learning in the classroom. In addition, students will continue to refine their performances to include, but not limited to, expression and technical accuracy, as well as an extensive and varied repertoire of concert band literature that is developmentally appropriate.
