It is an organization that performs concerts and participates in school activities such as pep rallies, and graduation ceremonies. It also prepares the students for high school. Many high school bands require a student to have previous experience. Northeastern Music programs will prepare your students with the proper music fundamentals so when they enter high school they will make an important contribution to the high school band. An alternative to sports. Not all students are capable of participating in school sports, but any student with the desire to play an instrument may play in the school band. This gives each student a chance to be part of an organization that contributes to school pride while making new friends in an organized school activity. No cost to the school. There is absolutely no cost to the school for a band program. Parents pay tuition for lessons directly to the band program. All music and stands are provided by the program. Students needing instruments will be offered inexpensive rentals through local music stores. The school needs only to provide a place for lessons and band rehearsals. How the band program works. The students are placed, by instrument and ability, into groups of 2-8 pupils. Weekly lessons are conducted during the day on a rotating basis so that a student will not miss the same class more than once during a period of several months. (Example: if a student has a 9:00am lesson, it will be at 9:30 the following week, etc.) Eligibility and progress reports. All students in grades four and above may participate in the NMP program at their school. Students who wish to participate in the program must maintain a passing grade in all other school subjects in order to continue their participation. The NMP program is also a graded program, so parents will be kept abreast of their child's progress. Music report cards are given out at the same time that school report cards are issued.
