How are you supposed to choose only one instrument that you will play for the rest of your high school career? When we entered our first band class in grade nine, we were expected to know what instrument we wanted to play. There were infinite options to choose from. But which one was right for you? After four years of commitment, there’s no turning back. There’s no time to start something new or try something different. You are now looked up too as a role model, expected to be the superior student. A grade is made by how well your performance is. Playing and instrument isn’t something that you can study, read, or test on. It takes time, dedication, passion, and lots of practice. I believe the way a band student is marked can be very indecisive. In grade 12, learning an instrument is like the transition from high school to adulthood. In life, success and stature is depends on how one thinks about how well their doing and how much they’ve improved. Like music, this cant be compared to everyone else, but based on your overall progress. Not only do you have to learn how to play the instrument, but you also have to know how to read music and theory. It gave us an experience that you couldn’t learn in from any other academics coarse. Music had its own unique way of teaching us more than just the criteria. In your final year, you begin to admire the accomplishments you have made. You notice that band, like your grad, is less of a class, and more of a family.
