THE BAND PROGRAM The significance of an instrumental program in the public schools is apparent when one realizes the tremendous advancement band programs have made in very recent years. It is generally assumed that the main function of the grade school band is to eventually furnish material for the high school band but the aims and objectives on the secondary level should aleo look to the present as well as the future. We may think of the aims as those which are to be done to the music material, and objectives might be thought of as more remote, or the results which are sought through striving for aims. Some of the more important aims to be achieved through music can be enumerated ass good playing habits, posture and holding instruments correctly, regular attendance, adaptation to playing of the rest of the group, good intonation (playing in tune), striving for good performance, striving for good tone quality, the proper care of instruments and e-quipment, and developing a good ability to read music. The objectives to be reached are of a more personal nature and may be grouped into the following categories: health-developing better health through good posture and breathing, and developing muscular coordination; creative-providing an outlet for creative interpretation, and guiding emotional growth and self-expression; social-developing self respect and confidence through the power to play well, and forming pleasant relationships with people of similar tastes and ambitions; leisure time-provides a change from other school activities, and stimulates an interest in listening to other musical events; vocational-develops skills that may serve as a foundation for later vocational use, and discovers and develops talent that might otherwise be wasted. 37
