As I wait, with baited breath, for a few more applications, I wanted to take the opportunity to answer a few common questions.
Do we assign instruments? No, although we are happy to make suggestions we find that the student is most likely to put the work into the instrument they chose. We do suggest you take a trip to Long and McQuade and see just what is out there. The store offers rent to own so that you can decide later whether or not you want to commit to purchase. Do the students need any previous experience? No previous experience is necessary. We use the program Standard of Excellence, a tried and true band program that has been used by band teachers for years. Each book shows care and assembly of the instrument, basic posture for the student and note reading from the very beginner. When and where do we meet? We meet at Parkdale Grace Fellowship (2608 - 1st Ave NW) on Tuesdays. If Tuesdays don't work for you please don't hesitate to contact us, we may have other suggestions or be able to work something out. It never hurts to ask! How old should the student be? We recommend 10 and up. However, we are flexible! Is piano, violin or guitar a part of the program? No. However, we have had violin students join us at the Senior level as Senior band is more about rehearsal technics and performance.
