Welcome To Edgewood
Band & Orchestra

Never played an instrument before? No worries! With regular lessons in school, consistent practicing at home, and parental support, anyone can learn.

​

Parental participation in performing ensembles includes renting a quality instrument (scholarships are available to qualifying families), bringing students to any concert that occurs outside of the regular school day, and supporting regular practice at home.

​

Students can choose from instruments listed below. Follow the links to learn about each instrument.
