| Greetings! If you are looking to find out about band at WHMS, you've come to the right place! Students can begin their instrumental career in the 5th grade, by selecting one of the traditional band instruments to play (flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French horn and baritone). They will learn all about putting the instrument together, proper playing position, embouchure, technique, and how to begin making music with the instrument of their choice. In 6th grade, they will continue to build on those foundational methods that they learned in 5th grade, and continue to learn more techniques and methods, to prepare them for instrumental music at the junior high level. Welcome to band at WHMS! |
