    Overview:
     
    My name is Norah Carney and I am the middle school band director. This is my 6th year teaching here at PKMS. My instrument specialty area is in woodwinds with my main instrument being the flute.
     
     
    In Band students learn many skills including but not limited to:
     
    -Rehearsal Skills
    -Musical Literacy
    -Concert Etiquette
    -Musical Preparedness
    -Musicality
    -Behavior
    -Posture
     
     
    There is an expectation for students to practice daily. Practice for a musician is their homework and is the most effective way of becoming a well rounded musician. Proper practice skills will also be reviewed in groups lessons.
