Learning to Love the Music

The Fifth Grade Band is a year of learning for our students. From understanding how to read music to bringing the sections together to make one beautiful band sound, our students come a long way over the course of the year. 

Students interested in band will have an opportunity to test out instruments early in the year and be evaluated to find their best instrument fit. Instruction is during the regular "specials" time at intervals throughout the week replacing their general Music rotation. Students will have an opportunity to show off their skills at two concerts in the Spring.

Instrument Rentals
Crestwood Bands has partnered with Central Instrument Company to offer instrument rentals to students at reasonable cost levels. Students with their own instruments are welcome to use them once they are evaluated for appropriateness by a member of the Crestwood Bands staff. 

Private 
​Lessons
While students will learn to play an instrument through in class and in home practice, there is great benefit in private lessons towards instrument mastery. We are fortunate to have access to many qualified music educators within our area who offer private lessons. Please contact these individuals directly to learn about their fees and schedule times.

Band Staff
