Mr. Greene and Mrs. Diaz discuss the band and orchestra program for the district, which begins in Goshen Intermediate School. GIS offers 4th graders the chance to learn band or orchestra instruments, with exposure to instruments starting in 3rd grade through events like concerts and instrument demonstrations. Parents receive an email with enrollment information via a website link and form. Students need a working instrument, preferably rented from a reputable store, and the lesson book "Essential Elements Interactive." Lessons are 30 minutes weekly in small groups, with a rotating schedule to avoid missing the same class each week, and teachers help students understand lesson charts in each classroom. Parents can support their child by encouraging weekly independent practice and listening to their practice sessions or even arranging video chats with relatives for performances.
