6th GRADE BEGINNER BAND

The 6th grade band program (beginner band) at our various elementary schools is the foundation for the Raider Band Program. Beginner Band is structured to teach each student the fundamental music skills required to be successful on their instrument. Private lessons are strongly encouraged during the beginner year.


During the school year, the Raider Beginner Band has the following goals and objectives:

  • To learn and demonstrate the band content standards as outlined by the Texas State Board of Education

  • To develop and grow music vocabulary and theory

  • To introduce and master fundamental instrumental technique and musical ability

  • To learn and demonstrate the process of creating and perfecting music through various concerts and performance opportunities

  • To prepare for junior high school band 

Beginner Band Performance Opportunities:

  • Fall Concert

  • Winter Concert

  • Solo Contest
