Band is a Blast

      Band is a very fun thing to learn. My sister played in band when she was my age. She told me that it is a very good learning experience. I didn't play band in fourth grade, so I thought I would give it a shot in fifth grade. 

    Band is very important. There are a lot of different parts. My instrument the clarinet has a lot of steps. At times it can be very confusing, but as long as you try your best you will be successful. Playing an instrument is not the easiest thing in the world. To get better you have to practice. Practicing can be very easy as long as you set your mind to the goal you’re trying to achieve.


      Even though I've only been doing band for five weeks I have improved and learned a lot. I went from putting the instrument together to playing notes. In band you have to take it little by little. If it is your first time playing an instrument then you can’t just expect yourself to be amazing at band. You will become good at band over time. You just can’t rush it. Band is fun, exciting and I am so glad that I joined band this year. There is a great year of band coming up. In fourth or fifth grade if you get the chance to play an instrument then I recommend you say sign up.
