Intermediate Band is a performance-based course which requires student participation in day and evening performances. Band students will be provided the opportunity to learn accountability and commitment to a team. During their ensemble experience, students will be exposed to intermediate-level music theory, articulation patterns, rhythmic patterns, and a variety of musical styles. Students will continue their quest to improve tone, breath support, blend, balance, and intonation. Listening and critical-thinking skills will be enhanced as students analyze their individual and group performances.
Full Year Prerequisite: This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Beginning Band or the equivalent. Placement will be determined by the instructor. Auditions may be necessary.
This course can be multi-grades
