This concert band course, comprised of woodwinds, brass and basic percussion, is for adults wishing to gain hands-on experience playing a concert band instrument for the first time and students who wish to refresh their skills after having not played since leaving the K-12 school system.
Learn to play a woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument in a group setting in order to develop an appreciation for concert band repertoire and enjoyment of being part of a group performing experience.
Students must provide their own instrument and bring a pencil. Regular attendance and home practice are required.
