ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
Founded in 1998,
the Coon Rapids Home School Band is in it's fifth year serving the needs
of families with home schooled students. The program is taught by an
experienced teacher who is licensed to teach music in the State
of Minnesota.
Our band program at includes half hour weekly group lessons and band rehearsals.
It serves home school students from the fourth grade through
high school who play band instruments. All Lessons and rehearsals are on Tuesdays
at:
1st
Baptist Church of Coon Rapids 10936 N.W. Foley Boulevard Coon Rapids, MN 55448-4459 |
Last year in addition to our regular program , students in our groups played music that was custom arranged for them. They received free play along music and recorded a holiday CD to take home to their families. Students were able to check homework assignments and take practice exams that were posted on this web site. This year new activities will be added.
OUR PERFORMANCES
In addition to concerts held at our band site, students perform at a massed band festival in May. Experienced students in 6th through 8th grade can audition for a place in an honor band with other home school students in our area. We also provide opportunity for solo and small ensemble performance.
JOIN OUR BANDS!
New students are always welcome. If you are interested in enrolling and would like more information about
our bands, please contact the band director at the web link below.
A NOTE TO ALL OF MY STUDENTS
I have recently located a service that will provide free websites for home school groups in Minnesota and am in the process of preparing to move materials from this site.
This will mean added features for you, no more advertising and as far as I can tell, no more pop up windows!
As this will involve some redesign I am concentrating mostly on that newer site. In the process, we will end up with a domain name that will be easy to remember and much shorter to type. In the meantime I will provide links at the bottom of this page for any new additions.
