Third graders prepare for instrumental study by learning to play the recorder, which is provided by the school. The fourth, fifth, and sixth graders have the opportunity to participate in a choral program which focuses on 2 and 3 part singing. The choral students present a winter and a spring concert. Each grade level prepares a musical concert or play to be performed at different times during the school year. The Brookfield Instrumental Music Program is available to students in grades 4-6.
Instruction is offered on flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and drums.
Students receive one 30- minute lesson per week. A rotating schedule is used to prevent students from missing the same classroom time on consecutive weeks. In addition to lessons, students may also become eligible to participate in the band program. The goal of the Beginning Band program is to help students develop group playing skills. It is also an excellent means of reinforcing the musical skills and concepts which students learn in their lessons.
