Recent recognition includes:
- ABODA State Competition – Rincon/University HS
- ABODA's Top Prize – Tucson High
- Superior Award at ABODA Area Festival – Alice Vail MS Advanced Band
These successes hinge on our approach. Students in elementary school learn that the correct playing position, breathing, and fingering is the foundation of learning to play a band instrument. From the sound fundamentals, we progress into working with musical concepts, technique, performance situations, and more developed literature.
