band and choir lesson plans 2021-2022
First Semester:
Music students will study the basic construction of rhythm and pitch, recognizing the different
parts that make up the music and perform each section correctly. We work daily on producing
an ensemble sound as well as tuning. Junior high focus is on playing their instrument in tune with
the other members of the band.
Band students will focus on correct notes, accidentals (sharps or flats). Playing in the correct
key signature. Several playing tests will be given during the quarter to check for understanding.
These will be done in small groups.
If possible, occasionally students should be practicing individually on their instruments at home.
