Intermediate Band
Intermediate Band is specially designed for students who have a foundational understanding of their chosen instrument and are eager to advance their musical skills. Students will immerse themselves in continuing music techniques and artistry, honing their abilities in a collaborative, full band setting.
​
Throughout the course, students will explore more complex musical pieces, work on refining their tone, and improve their sight-reading skills.​ Students will perform playing tests for the instructor, ensuring that they are using proper technique, tone, rhythm, articulation, etc. throughout the course of their daily practice.
​
To showcase their progress, students will participate in two performance opportunities -- the GCHFA Winter and Spring Concerts.
