Band

The mission of the G.H. Robertson band is to provide all grade 5 students the opportunity to play a band instrument.  They will acquire the necessary skills needed to perform in a musical ensemble.

Students will learn basic skills such as developing a correct embouchure, learning correct usage of notation, rhythms, phrasing and dynamics, and basic rehearsal techniques. Singing is an integral part of this program as well.

 Emphasis is placed on providing a means to develop aesthetic awareness, sensitivity, and self-expression. 
This will be accomplished by attending a thirty-minute group lesson and a weekly full band rehearsal. This band performs as a group twice during the school year.
Students will need to rent or borrow an instrument to participate in this program.
