Text Box: Stone Middle School Band

 

 

 

 

OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVES

 

Overview

     The Ormond Stone Middle School Band Program is designed to develop ensemble skills to parallel the sequence of proficiency levels as listed in the Fairfax County Public School's Program of Studies.  Performance opportunities will be provided.  Our program will emphasize a respect for music as an art form that imparts aesthetic values, which enrich life.
 

Objectives

  1. Demonstrate an appropriate understanding of intonation, balance, blend, and technique within the ranges achievable by each performing group, while working for continuous development of proficiency levels.

  2. Perform a variety of literature within the capabilities of each group, which will motivate students to improve.

  3. Demonstrate the behavior expected of all participating members.

  4. Develop proper instrument care skills.

  5. Develop an understanding of each student's responsibility to the group.

  6. Develop in each student the character traits necessary for success, such as discipline, cooperation, and persistence.

  7. Provide a closer relationship and smoother transition from the elementary school band, through the middle school band, and on to the high school band program.
