Beginning Band
What instrument am I going to play?
There are a couple of factors we consider when figuring out what instrument you are going to play.
- what instruments you like
- your physical characteristics (ex: Can your fingers reach all the keys on a saxophone?)
- natural aptitude (things you are good at right now that are going to make learning to play one instrument easier than other instruments)
- renting or borrowing (the school only owns so many flutes so I can't give you all one but... you could rent one from a store if you would like to)
