This class is for students who are taking part in school bands and want to excel in the class. In our lesson we will focus on musical elements such as pitch, rhythm, dynamics and musical expression. It is important for clarinet, flute and saxophone students to understand these musical elements and how they are so vital in creating a musical performance. We will focus on instrumental techniques that can be missed in band classes to ensure your child is making an amazing sound. All students can bring their band music to class for extra support in playing it accurately and musically. We will also do technical exercises as well as playing solo pieces. The musical styles can be adapted to each individual learner to cover pop, jazz, ad classical playing.
Learning Goals
The lesson will be customized to fit each student’s needs. It’s perfect for beginners learning the basics of flute, clarinet, or saxophone, as well as for more experienced students preparing for middle or high school bands, working on auditions or exams!
