This one credit course is open to all Grade 9 students who love to make instrumental music. The course is mainly rehearsal based, in preparation for performances. Students will learn the essentials of good playing and ensemble technique, through emphasis on proper posture, breath support, reading music notation, listening across the band, and playing with focused energy. Class time is also spent on learning about music theory and history.

Individual Playing for Mrs. Hodge Don't panic - I (Mrs. Hodge) just want to hear you play a short little something so I know what you sound like. It could be a concert Bb scale, part of a piece from last year, something from a method book, Happy Birthday, whatever. This is simply information gathering for me. The new school year is upon us! We will be doing some introduction games, as well as handing out instruments and doing a basic theory review.
Focus for the first few weeks: 1) Theory 2) PLAYING our instruments and getting comfortable with our new band family. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email Mrs. Hodge at melissa.hodge@gvsd.ca
