Welcome to the Davis Instrument Selection Page! Here you will find information aimed to help you and your child make the best instrument selection. The instruments that are available for fourth graders are as follows: Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Alto Saxophone, Baritone (also called Euphonium), Trombone, Bell kit (mallets), drum pad (Percussion), and String Bass. Students also take another look at the Cello, Viola, and Violin which they may choose to continue BUT ONLY IF THEY PLAYED IT IN 3RD GRADE. As fourth graders, students have the opportunity play one of these instruments. Students receive one 30-minute lesson a week, and will eventually join the fourth grade band or orchestra. Have fun looking through the options and contact me if you have any questions.
