Percussion
Things to Consider in Choosing to Play Percussion
Although percussion instruction begins in 6th grade, it is not considered a beginner instrument because it is not played during the first 9 weeks.
In late November, students interested in playing percussion will be able to apply to transfer into the percussion section. During the application process, the following things will be considered:
•Rhythmic Aptitude
•Coordination
•Student’s grade in band
•Classroom Behavior
Students interested in playing percussion should pick either flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet or trombone to start the 6th grade year.
