Blog 4 Instrumental Music

During students first year in instrumental music they should experience and learn the benefits of playing in an instrumental ensemble. When a student is able to play in an instrumental ensemble they learn the benefits of teamwork. Once a ensemble is ready for Grade 1 repertoire that does not have each instrument playing the melody at the same time, the students learn the importance of balance in an ensemble and when to play out and when to hold back. Students will also learn the basic notes and articulations of music.
Being involved in instrumental music is a great way for students to meet new friends, have opportunity to learn a language that people all around the world can understand, and learn a discipline that can help them in everyday life. Instrumental music can help students meet new friends, because music is something that is enjoyed and played with many people. Making music can build a child's confidence. There can be opportunities for travel when students are in high school or possibly late middle school. These opportunities can allow students to share their music with others. Music is a subject that takes discipline, it requires that students find a way to practice their instrument outside of the classroom in order to become a better player,and make the ensemble that they play in a stronger group.
