Woodwind instruments require reeds to make sound, but reeds are costly for students and they break or wear out easily (not due to misuse, it is just the nature of them!) Students who play other instruments such as Brass or Percussion do not have to buy and replace their reeds. Sometimes students ask to play the "cheapest instrument" which is heartbreaking because our band needs all types of instruments.
My band students practice every day to prepare for three concerts and a festival. As my students' playing matures, they have opportunities for solo contests and honor ensembles in their community. My goal is for each student to appreciate music as a life-long skill.
