5th Grade Band
Join the team!
At Nelsonville-York Elementary, students spend their first years in music learning about note names, rhythms, instruments, and more. Once reaching 5th grade, they have the option to join band! Here, they will learn to play one instrument of their choice: flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, or bell/pad kit. Students will receive group lessons based on instrument families, where they will learn assembly and care, hand positions, proper tone production, and music-reading skills. Students are expected to bring their instrument, lesson book, and a pencil to every class. The band puts on two concerts each year: one in December and one in April.
