Procedure
Students are to complete the Beginning Band Assessment, select the top 3 instruments they are interested in learning, fill out and return the Beginning Band Form on Monday. There will be an opportunity for the student to "try out" the instrument(s) to ensure success on their top choices. The instrument selected may not be the student's top choice due to instrumentation needs of the program and individual factors determining a better chance for success on that instrument. The instruments that are recommended for your student will be ranked in order of "success" indicators such as easily making a sound on the mouthpiece, following directions, etc.
