Band & Winds lessons kids look forward to
Wind students learn flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, or trombone from Ed Clowers, whose bands have earned superior ratings every year and twice won Grand National Champion honors. Students learn Essential Elements Book 1 and experience the joy of playing in an ensemble from day one.
