Introduction to Orchestra and Band 

Do you love music? Have you always wanted to play an instrument? Join this introductory class where students will learn the fundamentals and basics of an instrument of their choice (see choices listed below) in a band or orchestra ensemble. 

No experience necessary!

  •  Students will be grouped into two separate groups of strings and band instruments. 
  • The curriculum uses a combination of traditional teaching methods and modern songs to help encourage the students to practice and experience the fun of music.
  • Students and parents will have access to the online student portal that helps them keep track of homework assignments and a fun practice log system with awards for minutes logged. 
  • The program culminates with a final rehearsal and a special evening performance for friends and family on Friday, May 8th at the Anoka Middle School Auditorium. 
  • Students need to bring their instrument to every practice and the performance. 

Instrument choices for band: Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone. 

Instrument choices for Orchestra: Violin, Viola, Cello 

Instruments: Students who are currently enrolled in Lincoln Elementary School for the Arts will have the option to check out an instrument from Ms. Whitcomb.

We have a limited number of instruments available so register and request to borrow an instrument early for best selection.
