Wayne Valley Band Room
The Concert Band is an in-school instrumental ensemble that emphasizes performance of challenging literature written for band, or transcriptions from orchestral works. Repertoire includes selections at Level 3-4 (NJMEA standard) in contemporary and traditional compositions. Students will further develop their musicianship through interpretation, trained hearing and response. Musicality, technique, phrasing and the ability to analyze form are major areas to be stressed. They will develop self-awareness and learn how to self-evaluate through the higher level warm-ups and grade appropriate literature along with weekly small group lessons.W
