  Our Beginner Band students have advanced to the Intermediate Band level. We are not currently offering a Beginner Band class.
  
  A carefully designed program which provides a systematic method of teaching beginning adult instrumentalists. Class lessons show how to form correct playing habits from the beginning, plus incorporating a gradual development of ear training abilities, rhythmic skills and technique - all correlated with familiar tunes. No musical prerequisites required.

  A continuation of basic band fundamentals covered in Level I or a review for those with previous band experience who wish to upgrade their performance skills and advance to Level III (the Halifax Concert Band). These sessions will present a more advanced study of scales, note/rest values, rhythm, articulation, tone, tuning and balance. Special exercises and exciting supplementary repertoire will be performed to develop self-expression and maximum results.
