Welcome to B14:

B14 is the instrumental music room at Oak Park.

K-1-2: Kindergarten, first, and second grades study steady beat, rhythms, playing xylophones and percussion instruments in song, literature and nursery rhymes through the Orff Schulwerk method. Movement and dance are also included.

Third: Third grade students study recorder. We use a recorder method book to read notation, songs and learn beginning music reading theory.

Fourth: Fourth grade students begin the two year study of the band instrument of their choice. This beginning band performs two major concerts each year.

Fifth: Fifth grade students move from beginning band to advanced band. Here students perform 3 major concerts a year and are invited off campus several times, especially during the winter holiday months.
