Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
There are 150 band students at our high school. The band program consists of Marching Band, Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band. Throughout the year students are participating in Football games, Marching Band competitions, the St. Patrick's Day Parade, and Winter and Spring Concerts.
The band students are hardworking and enthusiastic about music.
There are always band students in the band room. Students stay after school and arrive early to practice their instruments. Students audition outside of school to be apart of regional and statewide music festivals. Their love for music is inspirational!
My Project
The Essential Elements and Sound Innovations method books will help students learn and grow through music performance. The Sound Innovation books have over 400 exercises and 70 chorales by some of today's most renowned band composers. This allows students to develop their articulation, dynamic, phrasing, intonation, and technical skills through contemporary and meaning music. The Essential Element book provides instrument specific studies and allows students to continue expanding their performance skills. Essential Elements also provides an online resource for students to be successful with their practice at home.
These books will help every student grow in their understanding and abilities as ensemble musicians.
