Information about our Lesson Curriculum

Lessons are an essential part of the Sun Prairie Band Program and provides students with a curriculum that is entirely unique from the large ensemble. During lessons, students work on the specific skills that they will need to be successful on their specific instrument in a small-group setting. To accomplish this, students work out of a lesson packet that is specially designed to guide them through their method book at a pace that is best suited to meet their individual needs. This allows for differentiated instruction that is tailored to each individual.

Students at Prairie View are scheduled for one lesson each week that takes place during the regular school day. Lesson are scheduled on a rotating basis, ensuring that no student is scheduled for a lesson during the same class period for at least four weeks.

The lesson schedule is always posted in the music area and will be sent home via email each week. Please check your student's lesson time and encourage him/her to write it down in his/her assignment notebook. If you have any questions or concerns about your student's lesson schedule, please contact Mr. Quaglieri.

About 6th Grade Band at Prairie View

Picture
Band in Sun Prairie begins in 6th grade. Prairie View Middle School currently has two 6th grade bands that meet for 44 minutes every other day. Students also receive small group instruction once a week through the Band Lesson Program. At Prairie View, we strive to provide students with a comprehensive musical foundation on their instrument; one that will pave the way to a successful and well-rounded future as a Sun Prairie Band Member. (we also have a great deal of FUN doing so!)

6th Graders at Prairie View Middle School work toward 6 performances during the school year including the district-wide Band-O-Rama concert and the Memorial Day Parade in downtown Sun Prairie. Additionally, students also have the option to participate in several additional performances including Tuba Christmas, Solo & Ensemble, High School Epoch Sound (pep-band) Night, and the district-wide Swing Into Spring Jazz Extravaganza.
