Beginning Band is for students with little to no prior instrumental experience. We build fundamental band skills and musical literacy from the ground up through playing instruments, learning music theory, and making real ensemble music together in a supportive group setting.

Students progress quickly from first notes in August to performing recognizable ensemble pieces by the December concert, and by May they are playing published band music with full parts. It’s amazing!

Students attend class once per week and follow a guided practice plan at home during the rest of the week.

Advanced Band is for students with prior instrumental experience (typically one year or more) who are ready to grow as independent musicians and ensemble players.

Students continue developing technique, tone, and musical literacy while taking on more challenging concert literature and learning how to contribute to a larger ensemble sound. Performances in December and May showcase substantial band repertoire, with opportunities for motivated students to audition for TPSMEA Honor Band in the fall and prepare a solo for festival performance in the spring.

Students attend class once per week and follow a structured practice plan designed to support steady individual growth throughout the week.
