Welcome to Sims Middle School Band. My goal is to teach your child to appreciate and interact with music by playing an instrument. Playing in band builds pride and self-esteem. Taking care of a musical instrument will help your child develop responsibility.Band is what makes school special. Students take away valuable memories from concerts and special trips. These events build in them confidence and respect for themselves and their school. Studies have shown that students that are involved in the arts in school have a better chance of graduating from high school. Other studies have shown that students who are in music classes for many years score higher on standardized tests. Music students have the joy and privilege of representing their school in expressing what is in their heart. This gives them ownership of something bigger than themselves. These experiences are what create the desire to do great things in their lives.
It is my hope that when your child leaves middle school that they will continue their musical journey in high school and perhaps music will lead them into college.
