​sixth grade center band 

​The Argyle Sixth Grade Center is the only campus that offers beginner band classes. If your students have an interest in joining band, sixth grade is the only time to do it!  We are excited for you to join us in BAND!

​

The Beginner Band is the first step in the journey as a member of the Argyle Middle School Band.  Students in the Beginner Band will enjoy instrument specific classes where they can learn to play their chosen instrument in a small-group setting.  Students will learn all of the skills necessary to perform concerts for your family and friends!

 

The Beginner Band will perform several concerts throughout the first year, perform a solo on their instrument by the end of the year, as well as travel to the North Texas Festival of Distinction to compete against bands from around the state.

​

Supplemental private lessons are available and are recommended by the directors.

Daily Practice & Practice Journals

Practice Journals are due weekly on Monday .  Students will fill in what to practice at the end of each class with their teacher.  Students will practice 20-30 minutes each night (or more!) and record that time on the journal.  Parents will sign each weekend  and the cycle repeats. ​Home practice is expected and required.  The physical demands and muscle memory of producing a QUALITY sound, playing with clean technical accuracy, and the reading of music notation will be strengthened over time ONLY through CONSISTENT, DAILY PRACTICE.  No instrument is to spend the night in the band hall
