Symphonic Band P (B6668) Recommended: Play a traditional band instrument. Meets VPA/UC/CSU requirement. This year-long course is designed to provide the opportunity for students to be a part of a musical ensemble that rehearses and performs various styles of music throughout the school year. The primary concepts that are emphasized include: major & minor scales, intermediate to advanced rhythms, tone quality, terminology, and elements of blend/balance in a traditional instrumental ensemble. Students wishing to start an instrument are encouraged to take private lessons in order to prepare for this course. Sufficient enrollment in Symphonic Band may, in any given year, lead to the addition of a Wind Ensemble class. The same course description would apply, the musical material would be at an intermediate to advanced level, and students would be required to audition for placement in this class. Estimated HW: 120 minutes per week.
