About the instructor...Mrs. Moore is a graduate of Western Illinois University School of Music and received her Masters of Music at Northwestern Illinois University. She currently teaches 4th and 5th grade band at Beebe and Ellsworth Elementary Schools. During marching season, she also works with the Naperville North High School pit percussionists. Prior to coming to Naperville, Mrs. Moore taught 4th-8th grade band in Peotone, Illinois and her home town, Glenwood, Illinois. | About the program...Beebe School has separate 4th and 5th grade bands. These bands perform several times throughout the year, including winter and spring band concerts, fifth grade band festival at Jefferson Jr. High, and in-school performances. Students meet weekly for group lessons where they develop their instrumental skills through lesson book studies, scales and rhythm drills. Bands meet as a full group once a week to practice a variety of sheet music and build ensemble skills such as balance and blend. During the first semester, students are encouraged to perform solos at their lesson. For each solo performed they add another note with their name on it to our Super Soloists Wall. With the start of the new year, they will begin the \"Songs for Stars\" program in which students will earn stars for individual memorized performance of scales and lesson book songs. Each trimester the students receive a sheet of goals to complete at their own pace. Additionally, in the spring 5th grade students will have the opportunity to participate in Chamber Groups(small ensembles) which will perform at the Spring Concert. |
