Band 6 - 8

The Louis Riel School Division believes that music is an integral part of a student’s education. Learning to play a musical instrument provides a lifelong source of enjoyment, a team experience, a source of self-discipline and an outlet for personal expression.

Music is compulsory for every student at Frontenac School and is taught by a qualified instructor.

Band students may choose from ten different instruments on which they can develop their musical skills. Students will learn skills sequentially over three years and then have the option of continuing in High School.

Grade 6 students receive instruction for 30 minutes, three times per cycle, while Grade 7 & 8 students receive 40 minutes, four times per cycle.

Performance opportunities for students include concerts, assemblies and other school events. The focus of the Band program is to have fun while learning and developing a lifelong love for making music.
