Peoples Academy Middle Level Bands
The Peoples Academy Middle Level Bands give students the opportunity to learn essential playing skills and techniques necessary to develop into a mature player. We cover such fundamentals as basic instrumental techniques, ensemble and rehearsal skills, practicing techniques, tone, dynamics and articulation, posture, artistry, history, critique, and many others.
Beginning instrumentalists play in the Grade 5/6 Band. We study the Bb and F scales and learn to play as an ensemble, taking and following cues from the conductor, assuming responsibility for individual parts, etc.
Students who have played at least a year and are ready for more challenging music may play in the Grade 7/8 Band.
