Band - Taught by Mr. Stephen Syrell
4th Grade
Students will learn musical concepts using the recorder as their primary instrument. Students will learn how to perform a variety of rhythms, read music notation, and perform with their peers by engaging in higher-ordered thinking to build awareness of their actions as musicians. Any scheduled performances are a required part of the class.
Students can purchase a recorder through the school or use one they already own.

Many music concepts, such as tuning, music theory, and emotional expression, are explored and applied to music performance. By engaging in higher-ordered thinking, students will build awareness of their actions as musicians.
Parents must obtain their children's instrument by renting from a music company (preferred method), purchasing an instrument (either new or used), or borrowing one from a willing family member or friend. Daily home practice is expected and required of all students. Performing in scheduled concerts is also required.
