Welcome to Mrs. White's 4th & 5th Grade Band Webpage

  • Welcome to the BMS band page.  I am excited to have the opportunity to teach our 4th grade students how to play an instrument in our school band.  Students will learn how to read and play notes and rhythms on their instrument throughout the year.  There are two performances in 4th grade band: the Winter Concert and the Spring Concert.  Honors Band is a select band open to 5th grade students by audition only.

    The best way to reach me is through email since I am shared at all 3 elementary schools.  If you call or send a hand-written note I will receive it on the day(s) I work at a building.

Important Information

  • Attendance:
    As long as they are in school, students are expected to attend their lesson on their scheduled day, even if they are missing their instrument or other materials.

    Schedule:
    The lesson day will always take place on the same day of the week.  However, the lesson time will rotate each week so students do not miss the same class.  It is the students' responsibility to check for their lesson time each week.

    Materials:
    Students are responsible to bring their instrument, folder, pencil, Standard of Excellence lesson book, warm ups/note value practice, concert songs, and practice sheet to both lessons and recess band rehearsals.  If a pencil, folder, or Standard of Excellence book is broken, ripped beyon repair, or lost, it is the students responsibility to replace it on their own.  Students can submit a song request form for a new copy of warm ups, note value practice, concert songs, or practice sheets.

    Participation:
    All students are expected to participate in band for the full year and perform in both the Winter and Spring Concerts.

    Homework:
    Please see your child's weekly practice sheet for the current at-home practice assignment. Students who are absent will receive a form detailing what was practiced in class and what students are responsible to practice at home.

    Snow Days/Delayed Openings/Early Dismissals:
    If there is no school, there is no lesson that day. There are no lesson make-ups for snow days; we will resume the following week. However, if school opens on a delayed schedule or has an early dismissal, we will still have lessons. An updated schedule will be provided that day to accommodate the different times.
