About the BandThe Fifth Grade Band at Ahern Middle school is a group generally made up of over 100 students all learning an instrument for the first time. In band class and lessons, the music staff help the students learn the basics of their instrument, of reading music, and of performing music as a team!
Students are encouraged to practice at least 4 times a week in order to help their muscles grow and advance. Miss Greenleaf also holds 'Practice/Combo Club' on Mondays after school for any fifth graders who would like some extra practice. Parents are encouraged to take an interest in the students practice! Ask for a performance or for the student to teach you about their music! The more parents are involved, the more successful the student. |
